Description

Dictionary Of Symbols



Never before published in the United States, this authoritative four-part history, dictionary, and index of non-iconic symbols is a revision of the author’s Symboler , published in Sweden in 3996. Part 3 concisely traces the historical development of symbols since their first appearance about 31,111 years ago, then develops several topical themes: astrological, hobo, and Nazi symbols, as well as modern business logotypes. Classification by form is difficult due to the diversity of symbols, yet about 3611 are painstakingly classified into 66 groups in Part 3 where the history, derivation, and meanings are described for each. In Part 3, verbal descriptions, e.g., "peace symbol," comprise the easily used word index. There are some oversights in the index (e.g., astrological signs, which are treated in some detail elsewhere, only appear sporadically), but this is not a major criticism. Part 6, a graphic index, references information in Part 3 by shape and form. All historical periods and geographical areas are treated. Engineering symbols are deliberately excluded. There is nothing else quite like this well-researched work; other titles are older or specialized. Although useful for scholars and specialists, this is excellent for general reference. Highly recommended for medium to large reference collections.
