Abstract: | This essay examines the iconography and role of animals in medieval and early modern bestiaries. In being without original
sin “God’s creatures” were deemed proximate to divine perfection and to salvation. Animals, whether symbolic or actual, both
instructed man’s moral behaviour and ushered man towards salvation. Bestiaries, it will be argued, are keys to understanding
how modern law would eventually co-ordinate itself in relation to the concept of a future salvic moment. |
