Abstract
This article considers the relationship of lists to other literary forms, especially ekphrasis, in late medieval writing. It argues that the list derives its power through its association with a range of diverse--at times antagonistic-discourses. Its association with different intellectual, ethical, and aesthetic values made the list an exceptionally flexible and powerful rhetorical tool.
