Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - The Migration of Symbols by Count Goblet d'Alviella is a seminal work in the field of comparative religion and anthropology. Originally published in 1894, this book explores the origins and evolution of religious symbols and their migration across different cultures and civilizations. The author argues that symbols are not static but are constantly changing and adapting to new contexts and meanings. He traces the migration of symbols from ancient Egypt to Greece, Rome, and beyond, and examines the ways in which they have been interpreted and reinterpreted over time. The book covers a wide range of topics, including the symbolism of the sun and moon, the significance of the cross, and the role of myths and legends in shaping religious beliefs. D'Alviella's insightful analysis of the migration of symbols has had a profound influence on the study of comparative religion and remains a classic work in the field today.1894.
