Résumé du livre
"Tracing symbols to their cultural, religious, or mythological origins, The Element Encyclopedia of Symbols explores a wealth of objects and concepts, and the hidden or encoded meaning that lies concealed beneath their ordinary, outward appearance. Entries range from examples of metaphor and allegory to the symbolic meanings of numbers, letters, astrological and alchemical characters, as well as a rich array of abstract concepts that find their tanglible expression in the universal language of symbols."--BOOK COVER.
