Art of Samson and other historic or mythological figures drugging their pets.
TBH, this is an excuse to dig through art archives and find neat works of art to post that are vaguely related to the topic.
Image description: Detail from an illustrated manuscript. A man in a red robe with long brown hair, forked brown beard, and a pink cap straddles a lion. He holds open the lion's mouth. The lion's tongue sticks out, like it's saying "aaaah". There are trees all around. There are two men in the trees watching what's going on. There is a shiny gold border around the scene.

Nice post, a translation of the text would be appreciated as well if possible!
My best guess with Google translate:
Le cube. Chapitre contient le cas le Canton gouverneur du peuple les: vifs. Et commence on latin. prenoate egituc. etc.
The cube. Chapter contains the case of the Canton Governor of the people: alive. And start on Latin. I did it in advance. etc
(Italics bits were in Latin, the rest in French)
