El objetivo de este articulo es analizar los rasgos fundamentales de la descripcion medieval de algunos animales exoticos y compararla con la descripcion de estos mismos animales en la novela historica. Del cotejo entre textos medievales y actuales se intentara extraer conclusiones en torno al aprovechamiento, a modo de herramientas, que hacen los escritores contemporaneos al mimetizar casi literalmente esas descripciones medievalizantes de animales exoticos. Su objetivo seria obligar al lector moderno a tomar una posicion de lectura, produciendo efectos de identificacion (con la poetica del relato medieval) y a la vez distanciamiento (respecto a las formas narrativas actuales). The aim of this article is to discuss the fundamental characteristics of the medieval description of several exotic animals, and to compare it with descriptions of these animals in the contemporary historical novel. From the comparison between medieval and contemporary works, conclusions about the tools used by contemporary writers will be extracted. In particular, it will be shown how they benefit from the imitation, almost literal, of the medieval-style descriptions of exotic animals. The intention of this method, would be to constrain the modern reader to a reading perspective, by producing identification effects (with the medieval poetics) as well as distancing (with respect to the current narrative forms).
