Ok, I would like some bestiaries on monsters

Real ones made 100 years ago? Yes
Fake ones made 100 years ago? Absolutely
Shit for video games, movies or other books? Radical
Smart shit with evolution? I’ll take it
A children’s pop up book? I’ll kill the children for it

I’m not necessarily looking for books that are illustrated, but I’m not sure you could ever have a non-illustrated beastiary.

Louis Charbonneau Lassay - Le Bestiaire du Christ / The Bestiary of Christ (abridged translation)

>Fruit of the monumental work of the archaeologist and historian Louis Charbonneau-Lassay, Le Bestiaire du Christ was published for the first time in 1941. Two years later, almost all of this edition perished in the bombardment of the city of Bruges, as well as than all the wood that had been used to adorn this treatise on zoological symbolism linked to Christ with 1127 engravings. Here is today this resuscitated treasure.

>The Bestiary of Christ constituted, in the eyes of the author, only the first part of an unprecedented investigation, to which he devoted his whole life as a researcher, and which was to be continued by a Vulnerary of Christ, a Floraire and a Lapidary. To carry out this enterprise, he mentioned, among the sources consulted, the myths of pre-Christian religions, the sacred books of the two Testaments, the doctrines of the ancient Gnostics, medieval studies, the first memoirs of explorers, folklore, as well as the information provided by a medieval initiatory community, still alive in the 1930s.

>Heirs to this multiple knowledge whose genesis Charbonneau-Lassay endeavored to trace, the artists of the Middle Ages succeeded in expressing, through their symbols, the most subtle teachings of theology and the impulses of universal mysticism. Synthesis of this millennial language enlightened by the most varied disciplines, the Bestiary appears today as an exceptional document finally accessible.

I've read some bits from this in a medieval Slavic translation. It might be up your alley.
