Filled with rich themes and tidbits, made all the more intriguing by contradiction and qualification. THE ASS, for example. The stubborn ass is made the symbol of St. Thomas, the doubter [109, among certain Westphalians], while also the domestic animal most close to the person of Jesus Christ [107]--from the Bethlehem stable to the Day of Palms. In providing Mosaic law, God apparently takes all the firstlings, noting that "the firstling of an ass thou shalt redeem with a lamb". Exodus 34:19-20. Redeemed? Curiously, the same lamb as sacrifice is also an admitted hieratic fauna of Christ [69], as the ram is again the highest expression of the divinity Zeus among the Greeks, and Amon among Egyptians, and so in the Kabbalah where the red ass is the incarnated Satan. In fact, the ass and the ram or goat's head, are substitutional in the infernal star [110], the symbol of Lucifer, Rempham. Did I mention this can be confusing? sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica
This extraordinary and extraordinarily beautiful volume introduces readers to a compendium of animal symbolism that ranks with the greatest of the classical and medieval bestiaries. Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |

> LE BESTIAIRE DU CHRIST, de Louis Charbonneau-Lassay (éd. Albin Michel). — Réédition d’un ouvrage de référence qui connut bien des avatars : retard à l’impression, puis destruction des 1127 gravures sur bois, réalisées par l’auteur, indispensables à l’illustration. L’auteur nous dit avoir essayé de présenter les significations exactes des figures emblématiques qui au cours des siècles chrétiens, et dans des milieux très divers, ont été adaptées pour représenter, mystérieusement, la personne du Christ.
Ce livre de 1000 pages est plus que cela. Il est une véritable source de réflexion sur les images symboliques qui nous entourent et ont participé à notre culture.
Nous y retrouvons la source d’inspiration de très nombreux auteurs qui n’ont pas toujours cité cette référence. Autant « boire l’eau à sa source ». (Jean-Pierre LAFFEZ)
