Description

Symbols are an international language, but that language is far from universal. Different symbols mean radically different things in different contexts – a cross, a crane and a swastika each have a distinct meaning for a Buddhist, an art historian or a student of the occult. 1000 Symbols offers a comprehensive dictionary of symbols, placing each one in its historical and cultural context.

 

  • A comprehensive single-volume dictionary of symbols
  • More than 1000 original symbol illustrations
  • Relates the history of each symbol and defines its cross-cultural meanings
  • Comprehensively cross-referenced
