| Summary: | In the Middle Ages, the presence of animals, both real and fantastic, on written and sculptural holders, has the generic purpose of transmitting values considered of necessary knowledge or compliance. This article will examine the fundamental uses in which they materialize, taking the society of medieval Galicia as a general framework of study and paying attention both to the sources in which they appear –stone and parchment– as well as to the issues they convey. To do this, we will define two spheres and we will read them from different perspectives: the written one, for an individual receiver with some training in literacy, an image intended to suggest certain content to a specific and interested person that unravels the text; and the sculptural one, more designed for a collective audience that nevertheless assumes the concepts in a particular way, in the exemplary functionality of a biblia pauperum more appropriate to the new Romanesque portico and with a more intimate and allegorical projection of the private. |
