Abstract
This article cites Robert Henryson's Fables in order to contextualise the history of the medieval notion that the world of imaginary, poetic fiction, needs justification; and examines the theological sources which served as the foundation of that debate and provided the validation for the use of fable animals as moral exemplars.
