When studying the relationship between text and image in a single medieval manuscript with a medical topic, it is not uncommon to find large differences between the two media. There are cases where the writing is admittedly accompanied by miniatures, but where these are not reflected in the words: the subject of the figure is mentioned, but there is no descriptive element provided.These inadequacies prompt us to reflect on this type of image, which was ultimately not designed from the start to be linked, either "intellectually" nor "physically", to a single text and therefore was not devoted to shed light on a single work.Through the representation of the sea urchin, as it appears in some manuscripts of the De materia medica of Pedanius Dioscorides, I examine here the nature and functions of this kind of image that I call paradigmatic.This analysis also provides an opportunity to study the anatomical diagrams of Aristotle, from which the representation of the sea urchin would originate, and to consider the role of this type of image in the teaching of medical disciplines in Antiquity
