Description and Table of Contents

Description

In 1986, Mr. Olderr wrote the hugely successful Symbolism: A Comprehensive Dictionary. It was arranged by symbol and told what the meanings were. The present work goes the other way (but it is not simply a refiguring of the data). It presents ideas, situations or objects (ancient to modern), and gives the symbols (allusions, associations, attributes, or emblems). Literary, artistic, religious, heraldic, numerological, folkloric, occult, psychological, and biblical usages are included.
