AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

A 12-volume work (plus an index volume) edited by James Hastings, was written between 1908 and 1921 and composed of entries by many contributors. My collection consist of first and second impression copies.

This work covers not only religious matters but thousands of ancillary topics as well, including folklore, myth, ritual, anthropology, psychology, etc.

It was originally published by T&T Clark in Edinburgh, and Charles Scribner's Sons in the United States.

Tremendous amount of work put in creating such great opus is worth to sit down and read it.
It witnesses the attempt of understanding the world and events more than 100 years ago that shaped the presence.
