Animal kingdom of heaven. Anthropozoological aspects in the late Antique world / Ingo Schaaf -- "Ecco, io vi mando come agnelli in mezzo ai lupi" (Mt 10,16) : eretici e animali nei cristianesimo antico / Roberta Franchi -- The function of dragon episodes in early hagiography / Daniel Ogden -- Tiere in symbolischer Deutung : der Physiologus / Horst Schneider -- Gregorio Magno e il mondo animale, tra curiositas e simbologia / Claudio Moreschini -- The flight of the phoenix to paradise in ancient literature and iconography / Françoise Lecocq -- Das tier, der mensch und Gott in Laktanzens De opificio Dei / Diego De Brasi.

Summary: "The essays collected in this volume apply an interdisciplinary approach to explore aspects of the relationship between animal and human in late antiquity. With a focus on ways that anthropozoological connections were defined in the emergent Christian religious discourse of the epoch, the authors contribute to our understanding a thematic area largely neglected in previous research."-- Publisher's website.
