“This new edition could not come at a better time. . . . [T]he simple act of sifting through this sprawling book is a reminder of the underlying continuities between world cultures, despite upheavals, wars, and catastrophes.?A Dictionary of Symbols?guides us through what unites us across nations, religions, and literary and artistic traditions.”??Angelica Frey,?Hyperallergic
"[Cirlot’s] book is not merely a reference work for students of symbology, but a book to be read at leisure. It does indeed provide informative and interesting reading. The longer entries can be read as independent essays, but it is only by reading through the volume steadily that one can become aware of the intricate interrelations of symbolic meanings." ?Catherine D. Rau, The Journal of Aesthetics and Art Criticism "[This] is a volume which can either be used as a work of reference, or simply read for pleasure and instruction. There are many entries in this dictionary?those on Architecture, Colour, Cross, Graphics, Mandala, Numbers, Serpent, Water, Zodiac, to give a few examples?which can be read as independent essays. But in general the greatest use of the volume will be for the elucidation of those many symbols which we encounter in the arts and in the history of ideas. Man, it has been said, is a symbolizing animal; it is evident that at no stage in the development of civilization has man been able to dispense with symbols." ?Herbert Read |
