Abstract
The biblical tradition of the tree of life and the tree of knowledge of the good and the evil is being investigated through the medieval iconographic sources. The coincidence and the confusion between the apple and the fruit of the fig is at the basis of the interpretative plot that shows itself through the artistic representations.
