Erwin R. Goodenough. Jewish Symbols in the Greco-Roman Period, Volumes 1-3. (Pantheon Books, New York City, 1953). Hardbound, 950 pages, 1209 B&W illustrations. The first three volumes of an ultimately thirteen-volume work, a magisterial attempt to encompass human spiritual history in general through the study of Jewish symbols. Goodenough offered evidence for the existence of a Hellenistic-Jewish mystic mythology far closer to the Qabbalah than to rabbinical Judaism. Volumes 1-2 present archaeological evidence from Palestine and the Diaspora, Volume 3 includes plates and illustrations. THREE VOLUMES IN LOT. Fair condition, bound in blue buckram; minor damage to one spine, another slightly discolored.
