The seven deadly sins and the religious simbolism of the medieval bestiary
Résumé
The natural world, with its vast spaces and diverse creatures, emerged as a reliable source of teachings aimed at spiritual growth and the salvation of the soul within the context of the Christian faith. This symbolic dimension, often influenced by ideological conditioning, adds depth to the understanding of the relationship between nature and spirituality. With this in mind, the study delves into the captivating world of animals from the medieval bestiary, highlighting their symbolic connection to vices or violations of religious morals, known as the Seven capital Sins. This exploration reveals a fascinating aspect of medieval Christian doctrine that continues to hold significance within the framework of religious belief today.
