# Medieval Animals

The Medieval Animals book series provides a scholarly examination of creatures that shaped the historical landscape. While traditional studies often focus on majestic beasts like lions or unicorns, this series shifts the academic lens toward lesser-known species to uncover their cultural impact. Through an interdisciplinary approach, these titles explore how various animals influenced human history, science, and social structures across different eras.

The first volume, Introducing the Medieval Snail by Julia Pineau, addresses a significant gap in medieval studies by analyzing the snail. This historical and scientific work investigates the role of snails in medicine, gastronomy, and material culture. By examining bestiaries, sermons, and sculptures, the text explores how these mollusks appeared in medieval art and literature. The series connects historical marginalia to modern cultural expressions, offering a fresh perspective on the intersection of nature and human history.
