An Illustrated Encyclopaedia of Traditional Symbols

$18.00

Cooper, J. C. Thames and Hudson, 1992. Softbound. 'Lively, informative and often ironic,' announces the back cover copy of this classic of comparative religion, '[Cooper] discusses and explains an enormous variety of symbols extending from the Arctic to Dahomey, from the Iroquois to Oceania.' Taught the fundamentals of Taoism, Confucianism, and Buddhism by her childhood amahs, Cooper later retreated to a remote area of Cumberland, where she bred Labradors and generated her own electricity from a nearby stream.

Tight, uncreased spine has a slight slump and some cosmetic chipping at the head. Clean, unmarked interior. Some very gentle edge-wear and a couple lightly bumped corners. Comparative Religion.
