The migration of symbols

Goblet d'Alviella, Eugène


London : Constable and Co, 1894


This is a study of the migration and mutation of symbols by a late 19th century Belgian lawyer and scholar, Count Goblet d'Alviella (b. 1846, d. 1925). Originally published in 1891 in French, this book covers a huge web of interchangeable symbols, which are found over a wide range of cultures through the Near East, India, Europe, and further abroad, notably in Mesoamerica.
