- Abstract
- The abbot Engelbert of Admont (c. 1250-1331) wrote many works, especially on theological and moral subjects, but he was also interested in nature. In the first part of his Tractatus de naturis animalium he gives a description of the human nature. In the second part he presents the world of animals. In this paper, I will present the main sources used by the Styrian and highlight some remarkable aspects of this work. I will focus my attention on the chapter of fish. This will allow me to compare the text with others of its kind.
