Dog-headed people of Andaman, f. 76v


Back

Andaman is a large island without a king, inhabited by idolaters who behave like animals. The people there have dog-like heads, with teeth and eyes to match. They possess many spices and are fierce, often devouring the men they capture, though they spare the natives. Their diet consists of rice, milk, and meat, and their fruits are different from ours.
