Physiologus

From Witcher Wiki

Physiologus This famous work contains vast information on different kinds of monsters.

A legendary bestiary containing information on many monsters. This book is quite obviously a reference to the "ancient book" that appears in the short story "The Edge of the World", the entry for the Witchman being almost a direct quote.

[edit] Location

• A townsman hanging around John Natalis Square in the Trade Quarter. He sells Geralt this book.

[edit] Notes

• In Act III, the Royal huntsman describes a family heirloom book that lists all monsters as the source of his knowledge. While he does not mention the title, the conversation seems to refer to a copy of this book. Talking to the Royal Huntsman with this book in inventory doesn't appear to make a difference, however.
• It may seem like the townsman simply gives this book to Geralt, but if you check your finances after that "gift", you'll see that it in fact cost 1000 orens.
• There is a Real World counterpart to this book, too,
