1915 Myths & Legends of Ancient Egypt
What Our Customers Say...
Description
Colour Plates, First Edition, Illustrated, Publishers' Original Binding, Very Scarce
Illustrated with sixteen colour plates by Evelyn Paul - an artist best known for her book illustrations, including those replicating the style of medieval illuminations - and with a further thirty-two monochrome illustrations. Collated, complete.
The very scarce first edition of this study of the religious history of ancient Egypt, 'reviewed in light of the science of modern mythology', with chapters dedicated to the cult of Osiris, Egyptian literature, magic, and the animal gods of the late period.
The work of Scottish folklorist and occult scholar Lewis Spence, a Fellow of the Royal Anthropological Institute of Great Britain and Ireland, and vice-president of the Scottish Anthropological and Folklore Society.
Condition
In the publisher's original pictorial cloth binding. Bumping to spine head and tail, with a touch of rubbing to back strip head. Otherwise, externally excellent. Internally, firmly bound. Pages a touch age toned but generally clean, with only the odd spot.
Very Good Indeed
