Résumé
This paper is intended to analyze the extent to which De natura animalium (NA), one of the best-known works by the Praenestian author Claudius Aelian, was distorted and manipulated by the scribe in charge of one of its manuscripts, specifically the ms. F (Laurentianus 86, 8) in which the text receives a very special treatment that involves omitting certain elements and adding others that are absent in the rest of mss.
