Pagan Mysteries in the Renaissance

Edgar Wind

Norton, NY. 1968. Later paperback edition. Some rubbing and bumping to front cover. Old price sticker affixed to top right corner. Uniform age appropriate yellowing. Beautiful inside, unmarked. A very good copy.

In this "exploration of philosophical and mystical sources of iconography in Renaissance art." we're taken on a whirlwind tour of the long chain of mysteries that passes through the lost ages up through the renaissance. Very much tuned to a certain type of Nerd Current - if you like: Dark Souls; The Book of the New Sun; the strange parts of Catholicism; Bacchic revelry; Warhammer 40k you will enjoy this book. Utterly transfixing if this content is your thing; I love this book so much I have three copies. Lavishly illustrated.

There are still mysteries!
