AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Magnificent and interesting religious atlas, illustrating the work written by Charles-François Dupuis, one of the greatest philosophers of the 18th century.
Dupuis, an 18th-century scholar, advocates the idea that all religions derive from a primitive worship of the sun and stars, and that gods, heroes, and sacred stories are merely astronomical personifications.
The boards translate this thesis into diagrams, tables, and comparative illustrations, blending classical scholarship, antique iconography, and geometric rigor.
They aim to visually demonstrate the original unity of human beliefs and their symbolic transformation throughout ages and civilizations.

Good condition of the binding, work in its original half-leather, marbled boards, signs of use, wear on corners, caps, and edges, smooth decorated spine, gilt titling.
