Animals in the Middle Ages offers an interdisciplinary collection of diverse perspectives on animals as symbols, ideas, or images in the art and literature of the Middle Ages. The first section demonstrates how animal images in early Germanic artifacts, manuscript illustrations, fables, and religious literature were used to teach medieval people about their cosmos and to reflect the values of their society. Essays in the second section bring fresh perspectives to the use of animals as symbols of moral and metaphysical truths during the medieval period. The final section deals with composite creatures -- combined animal/human forms -- that raise issues as to what qualities and characteristics, if any, separate humans from beasts.Animals as symbols, ideas or images in medieval art and literature. This collection of interdisciplinary essays focus on animals as symbols, ideas or images in medieval art and literature. Contributors discuss how the bestiary mirrored values of medieval society, look at the development of creatures in the bestiary and examine the Greek text Physiologus in depth.
