"The Grand Medieval Bestiary: Animals in Illuminated Manuscripts is a splendid pageant of the animal kingdom as the Middle Ages saw it, illustrated with miniatures of every period and style, many never before published. Noted art historian Christian Heck explains that the prevalence of animals in illuminated manuscripts reflects their importance in medieval thought, an importance due in part to the agricultural society of that age, in which a variety of species--and not just docile pets--were the daily companions of man. The main part of the book explores the complex and fascinating iconography of the individual creatures most frequently depicted by medieval miniaturists. It is arranged in the manner of a proper bestiary, with essays on one hundred animals alphabetized by their Latin names. The selection includes a number of creatures that would now be considered fantastic, including the griffin, the manticore, and of course the fabled unicorn, tamable only by a gentle maiden."--

A l'heure où les enjeux environnementaux ont pris une dimension mondialisée et où la traditionnelle attention à la protection de la nature, telle qu'on a pu la connaître, dans les pays développés, depuis les années soixante, a fait place à une "angoisse climatique" qui n'épargne aucune région du monde, le végétal semble avoir envahi le champ des préoccupations, quel que soit le domaine vers lequel on se tourne. Pareille focalisation révèle une prise de conscience qui dépasse largement l'écologie au sens strict et entend, sans doute, réinterroger rien moins que notre rapport à la plante, considérée comme l'archétype de la nature. Serions-nous en train de perdre nos racines ? Au-delà de l'effet de tendance et du sujet à la mode, interroger les "cultures végétales" est, aujourd'hui comme hier, interroger aussi nos représentations mentales et la façon dont nous transmettons aux générations futures notre rapport au monde naturel - une façon comme une autre de se pencher sur l'avenir de la planète.
