Abstract in Portuguese
Esta dissertação parte do estudo de um motivo iconográfico frequente nas margens de manuscritos na Europa Ocidental entre os séculos XIII e XVI, caracóis interagindo com outros personagens, e tem como objetivo analisar seus sentidos e modos de funcionamento. A partir da metodologia serial proposta por Jérôme Baschet, nosso corpus foi ampliado com a incorporação de outros objetos da cultura material e também de textos, a fim de aumentar as possibilidades de comparação. Por outro lado, em um movimento oposto, nosso estudo se conclui com um caso específico, selecionado por ser representativo da heterogeneidade desse motivo iconográfico: o Saltério de Gorleston (Add Ms 49622), do século XIV. Além da análise das particularidades iconográficas, estudamos também as diferentes funções, e seus modos de funcionamento, das imagens dos caracóis: além de ornamentar os fólios, dar ênfase a determinadas passagens, tecer críticas e moralizações, ou provocar diferentes reações no leitor, como o riso, por exemplo. A temática iconográfica do caracol em confronto com diferentes oponentes não se reduz a um sentido fechado, mas é um dispositivo retórico importante na construção das narrativas visuais dos manuscritos medievais

Abstract in English
The present research originates from the study of a recurring iconographic motif in the margins of manuscripts in Western Europe between the 12th and 16th centuries: snails interacting with other characters. Its aim is to analyze their meanings and modes of operation. Following the serial methodology proposed by Jérôme Baschet, our corpus was expanded by incorporating additional items from material culture as well as texts, in order to enhance comparative possibilities. Conversely, in an opposing approach, our study focused on a specific case, chosen for its representation of the heterogeneity of this iconographic motif: the Gorleston Psalter (Add Ms 49622), dating from to the 14th century. In addition to analyzing iconographic peculiarities, we also explored the various functions and modes of operation of the snail images: aside from adorning the folios, they emphasize specific passages, offer critiques and moralizations, or evoke different reader reactions, such as laughter, for instance. The iconographic theme of the snail in confrontation with different opponents isn't confined to a single interpretation; rather, it serves as a significant rhetorical device in constructing visual narratives within medieval manuscripts
