Sažetak
As a morally didactic genre, sermons use several forms of argumentation, whereby exemplum is among the most important ones. Sermon exempla, defined (mostly) as short texts with an overt lesson in morality within the Christian context, show a correlation between sermons and other genres. Thus, there are narratives of various genres appearing as sermon exempla. In line with that, there are sermon exempla with the animal subject. This article focuses on such exempla, to be explored within the framework of rhetorical and argumentative context to which they belong—the sermons from the collections of eighteenth-century Slavonian authors Jerolim Bačić, Đuro Rapić, Ortulf Brajdić, Filip Kapušvarac. The animal, in the exempla from the sermons of the aforementioned authors, will be researched as a primary and/or secondary subject. Based on the position the animal occupies and the role it has, models of the animal exempla will be established in the Slavonian sermon of the eighteenth century,
