Dear Frank.
I'm not absolutely sure, but I think Michael Camille discuss about the
representation of the seven sins in his book "Images of the Edge: the
Margin." Otherwise, maybe you could find something in the Louis Reau's work:
"Iconographie de l'art chretien", Paris, P.U.F., 1955-59 (6 vol.); Jacques
Voisenet, "Bestiaire chretien: l'imagerie animale des auteurs du Moyen Age
(5e - 11e s.)", Toulouse, P.U. du Mirail, 1994, ISBN: 2-85816-194-1.
I vaguely remember that the monkey represent the lust.
