Kisah dan tradisi
Biarawan laut adalah "ikan" yang dari luar mirip biarawan berjubah, konon ditangkap dekat Zealand, Denmark, sekitar 1546; Christian III mengirim gambarnya kepada Kaisar Charles V, dan panjangnya dicatat 4 ell. Belon, Rondelet, dan Gesner memasukkannya ke dalam buku sejarah alam; Rondelet menggolongkannya manusia laut tetapi meragukan gambarnya. Artikel bahasa Jerman menyebut biarawan laut sudah disebut Alexander Neckam sekitar 1200, dan Gesner juga mencatat makhluk serupa di Firth of Forth dan Polandia. Japetus Steenstrup menafsirkannya sebagai cumi-cumi, sedangkan tafsiran lain menyebut ikan sungut ganda atau anjing laut.
The sea monk is a 'fish' outwardly like a monk in his habit, supposedly caught off Zealand, Denmark, around 1546; Christian III sent its picture to Emperor Charles V, and it was recorded as 4 ells long. Belon, Rondelet and Gesner put it in their natural histories; Rondelet classed it as a merman but doubted the pictures. The German article says the sea monk was already mentioned by Alexander Neckam around 1200, and Gesner also recorded similar creatures in the Firth of Forth and Poland. Japetus Steenstrup read it as a squid, while others suggest anglerfish or seals.
