Latin American Mythology / The Mythology of All Races - Vol. 11. E-book. Formato Mobipocket Hartley Burr Alexander   -  Ionlineshopping.Com, 2018  - 

Used this book for research on Incan Mythology. It is a really useful guide, as long as you have some background info so you know what the book is talking about. The set includes not only the more familiar myths such as Greek and Roman, but pretty well succeeds in its goal to include all of humanity. The text is extremely detailed but very readable; none of the turgid prose so often associated with academia. The volumes contain numerous illustrations, both in the text and as plates (mostly black & white.) One of the most useful parts of the set is the last volume, an extremely detailed index, which allows the reader to pursue a theme, or even a topic as specific as the significance of belts, across all the volumes. The individual volumes do not have their own indices, but the tables of contents are fairly detailed.

Bibliographical references have been almost entirely rele gated to the Notes, Where the sources for each section Will be found, thus avoiding the typographical disfigurement Which footnotes entail. The plan, it is believed, will enable a ready identification of any passage desired, and at the same time Will give a convenient key for the several treatments of related topics. The Bibliography gives the sources upon which the text is chie?y based, chapter for chapter. Other references, inci dentally quoted, are given in the Notes. The critical reader's attention is called, in particular, to Note I, dealing With the difficult question Of nomenclature and spelling. The author has made no attempt to present a complete bibliography of American Indian mythology. For further references the litera ture given in the Bibliographical Guides should be consulted.
