More copies of this ISBN:Dictionary of Symbols an Illustrated Guide To Tradiby Jack Tresidder
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:The crow spelled death for medieval Europeans, but for Native Americans it represents a guide from the spirit world. Dictionary of Symbols explores 1,000 symbols from across the world's cultures and throughout the ages. Unlike other books on the subject, it is truly comprehensive, including entries, arranged alphabetically, for everything from amaranth (a Greek symbol of immortality) to ziggurat (a temple-shaped Mesopotamian icon). Indexed, cross-referenced, and packed with over 100 drawings, this is an indispensable reference for writers, artists, and anyone intrigued by the power of primal metaphors. Book News Annotation:Entries ranging from a paragraph to a page describe the symbolic
associations of such entities as alpha and omega, the cicada, ivory,
and soul. Panels explain symbolic systems of groups such as flowers,
elements, and passion. Wide margins contain an illustration or two
per page and cross-references. The index lists key words mentioned
but without their own entry. No bibliography.
