"Old English Physiologus" or "The Old English Physiologus" is a Latin text of medieval origin, known for its authorship by Cynewulf. This book is a translation and adaptation of the Greek work "Physiologist", which was intended to describe the physical and moral characteristics of various animals, plants and objects of nature. In the work "The Old English Physiologist", Cynewulf played and reconciled the themes of the Christian faith with rich symbolism and allegories. Each described object reflected some spiritual and moral teachings. The book was intended not only to teach the reader about nature, but also to point out important moral principles and religious truths. Cynewulf's "Old English Physiologist" is considered one of the most valuable works of medieval English literature, which combines knowledge of natural science and spiritual wisdom. This book leaves a mark in the heart of the reader, inspiring reflection, discovery and development of one's own spirituality.
