Abstract. The article examines the specificity of interpreting ancient stories in the West European medieval exempla - compilers of exempla collections for preachers. The author concludes that ancient stories were not so much re-interpreted but rather used as vivid morality tales along with other stories, such as everyday anecdotes, to secure the efficiency of a sermon. Special attention is paid to the problem of the genesis of the symbolic world perception in the Middle Ages.
Key words and phrases: exempla, средневековая картина мира, христианская проповедь в Средние века, рецепция античной мифологии, монашеские ордена, exempla, medieval worldview, medieval Christian sermon, reception of ancient mythology, monastic orders
