Suleiman is an elephant whose story the elephant in “I, the Elephant, Wrote This” hears often. Born in 1540, Suleiman lived a lavish life in Maximilian II’s court. After Suleiman wrote the words “I, the elephant, wrote this” in his enclosure, priests poisoned him. In the stars, Suleiman can be seen in his various body parts that Maximilian sent to various important people in the Holy Roman Empire to preserve the elephant’s memory.
