Monsters, Marvels, and Mythical Beasts – Monsters of the Early Modern Period [University of Alabama at Birmingham]
During the 1500s and 1600s, scholarly inquiry into the anomalies of nature was beginning to transform into the scientific study of teratology, but myths still abound of the fantastical monsters that could be found in distant lands, and strange, fanciful cases of half-human, half-beast hybrids continued to populate this literature.

Thus scholars worked to catalogue the reported cases of the marvelous throughout history in order to determine their veracity.
