$BASILISCO Basiliscus sive regulus Grevini. Illustration of Ulisse Aldrovandi, borrowed from Lycostene, representing him as a reptile from the many-legged bird, and crowned with the head of a rooster. The basilisk is a fantastic animal known since antiquity. Lives in Cyrenaica, lives in underground places: with the breath burns the grass and kills animals, also kills his eyes. The Grevin is the first of the moderns to define imaginary animal. \$
