From Library Journal
This reference work defines symbols not only as visual icons (including shapes, color, and geometric designs) but also as biblical, classical, and mythological figures; botanics; minerals; and animals (real and mythical) as they relate to literature, dreams, art, and so forth. The choice of the over 2000 cross-referenced terms included here was necessarily subjective, for almost anything in the universe can be construed as having an emblematic meaning. Prehistorical to modern periods are covered and, although there is a Western emphasis, the author attempts to place symbols in appropriate cultural contexts. This work, which consolidates much arcane information, is valuable for its elucidation of both the esoteric and commonplace. Generally recommended, although there is no need to duplicate if a collection has sufficient works of this nature. A similar title, Carl G. Liungman's Dictionary of Symbols , was chosen as one of LJ 's best reference books of 1991.--Ed.

對於一個喜歡神秘文化的人來說這當然是一本寶書。
评分感覺還是不夠多啊
评分是書吾於網間淘得。西曆一八年五月十六日到手也。是書為神秘符號之大匯編也。每一“意象/象徵/符號”搜羅甚詳，譬如各種宗教符號，溯其源，有猶太之講法，有埃及之講法，有印度之講法，有中土之講法，各地均備之。配圖多怪怪奇奇，如煉金術黑魔法之風格也。如半人半馬神、蟹人、上帝之眼周圍七星等等。翻譯多與通譯不閤，且書名不綴其國原文。如p54、p307有《寶洞書》，尋覓不見，按其引文故事搜檢之，乃《亞當夏娃一書》也。p339《赫馬牧人書》，多譯《黑馬牧人書》。p44、p356公元二世紀基督教文獻《自然科學傢》亦不知為何書也。雖然，不掩其萃拾之功也。
评分旁徵博引，不講究學術性的話看著還有點意思。瑕疵也不少，比如把中國傳統的“桃木”“桃源”跟cherry硬扯到一起就很難忍受。
