Abstract


This paper deals with figures on the margins of illuminated manuscripts from 15th century. The study of a certain type of images, those related with the world upside-down, raises problems about the history of figures on the edge and about their significance. The history and character of the world upside-down and several themes concerning it found in the margins of Flemish and French manuscripts, most of them now in Spanish libraries are discussed. So, hunters being hunted, unequal fights, domineering women or animals behaving against their nature are not seen as amusing or liberating items, but as worrying ones.
