Herder Dictionary of Symbols

Excellent reference book, good illustrations, text and comprehensive. Only one minor complaint, the book is so small. Width wise it is about 4" which makes it difficult to hold open. Next time it's reprint, please widen it just a little.

This is a really good book, but I have several different ones along this line and cross reference with all of them. Each gives a slight different view/perspective, which helps for a better/full rounded interpretation.

Compact & handy for quick reference...helps to guide my 'deliberate doodling' processes!

The Herder Dictionary of Symbols: Symbols from Art, Archaeology, Mythology, Literature, and Religion
by Boris Matthews

I bought this small book on symbols for the primary purpose of guiding my 'deliberate doodling' as well as mind-mapping processes. It's compact & handy for quick reference. It has more than 1,000 entries & 450 illustrations.

It is, in fact, the only symbol book I owned at this moment. It has symbols from art, archaeology, mythology, literature & religion.

I have been using this book as a reference for years. It is a wonderful book, full of information from a wide variety of cultures and disciplines. My only disappointment in the book is that it is not three times larger. I would love to see it expanded to include more symbols.
