9789061869733: Aristotle's Animals in the Middle Ages and Renaissance

Synopsis

Aristotle's zoological writings with their wealth of detailed investigations on diverse species of animals have fascinated medieval and Renaissance culture. This volume explores how these texts have been read in various traditions (Arabic, Hebrew, Latin), and how they have been incorporated in different genres (in philosophical and scientific treatises, in florilegia and encyclopedias, in theological symbolism, in moral allegories, and in manuscript illustrations).

This multidisciplinary and multilinguistic approach highlights substantial aspects of Aristotle's animals.
