The article attempts to study the fate of anthropocentrism in Italian Renaissance humanism through the topic of animals. In comparing them with man, humanists f ind a good argument to prove the superiority of man. The humanist evaluation of animals, the changes in this evaluation and their impact on the understanding of man are examined. The object of study was also the use of animal images in the poem by N. Machiavelli and the treatise by G. Gelli, where the animals themselves judge man. This approach is evaluated and its influence on anthropocentrism is shown.
