LIMITED edition No. 87 of 200. Phallic symbols, erotica and other fertility images are much more common in the churches of western Europe than is generally acknowledged. Their origins go back into the distant pagan past and the roots of cultures throughout the world. Priapus from Greek mythology has been venerated to a saint in some circles. This book is a serious, wide ranging academic study of an often overlooked subject and illustrated with many graphic and sometimes challenging images. The book is in very good almost unread condition, slight shelfwear to cover and very small print marks near top corner of cover. Size- 298mm. x 212mm.(4to.). Pp.264.
