A Dictionary Of Symbols

A classic encyclopedia of symbols by Catalan polymath Joan Cirlot that illuminates the symbolic underpinnings of myth, modern psychology, literature, and art.From the Egyptians on, no form of learning was more vital to the ancient world than the knowledge of symbols, and it was no less important to the civilizations of the Orient, even into modern times. In the Occident, thinking about symbols shaped the great art of the medieval age, and, to a very large extent, the new developments of the renaissance and the baroque, before gaining a distinctly new importance with the discovery of the “unconscious” in the twentieth century. The poet and art critic Juan Eduardo Cirlot’s Dictionary of Symbols first came out in 1958; soon translated into English, it has since proved an indispensable and endlessly stimulating resource for scholars and students of fields from art to literature to psychology to philosophy. Whether discussing the nature of the Mandala, the symbolic dimensions of the cow, heron, hippopotamus, or planet Saturn, Cirlot’s book is an unrivaled source of information, instruction, inspiration, and simple pleasure. This new, expanded edition of the Dictionary includes new entries as well as an epilogue by Cirlot’s daughter Victoria discussing her father’s poetry and work as an art critic and its close connection to Surrealism.

Desde los egipcios, la simbologia ha sido la gran ciencia de la antigüedad. En Oriente ha perdurado sin interrupcion hasta ya entrado el siglo XX y en Occidente inspiro todo el arte medieval y, en gran medida, el renacentista y barroco, hasta que el descubrimiento del Inconsciente volvio a revivir los simbolos en ambitos y maneras muy distintos. Este Diccionario de simbolos es la ultima y definitiva version de la obra en prosa mas importante del poeta y critico de arte Juan Eduardo Cirlot, quien en los anos cincuenta, en Barcelona, conocio al musicologo y antropologo Marius Schneider, que le inicio en la simbologia. Publicado por primera vez en 1958 con el titulo Diccionario de simbolos tradicionales, fue traducido al ingles en 1962. Cirlot continuo elaborando nuevas voces y articulos que introdujo en la segunda edicion castellana de 1969 y en la segunda edicion inglesa y americana de 1971. En esta edicion, que puede considerarse la tercera, han sido insertadas nuevas voces, hasta el momento solo publicadas en ingles, asi como el articulo Simbolismo fonetico, ultimo ambito de estudio simbologico de Cirlot, recuperado de su publicacion periodistica. En el epilogo, Victoria Cirlot situa en la vida de su padre la construccion de esta obra siempre en expansion y la relaciona con la poesia y la critica de arte. Muestra la vivencia simbolica de Cirlot aportando documentos ineditos, como por ejemplo la carta a Andre Breton en la que se relata el sueno aludido en la voz cicatrices.
