Excerpt from The Great Symbols The word will be used in a somewhat narrower sense in these chapters. The term Symbol has, by general consent, come to be applied to any thing which becomes representative Oi something else. The meaning supplied by Coleridge sufficiently indicates the sense in which it is used in this volume: A symbol is a Sign included in the idea which it represents, eg. An actual part chosen to represent the whole, or a lower form or species used as the representative of a higher in the same kind. In relation to the sacred Scriptures it is almost entirely a synonym of the word type (tupos, a figure), which is used by the apostles in this sense them that had not sinned after the likeness of Adam's transgression (rom.

From antiquity, when the gods and goddesses were commonly featured in works of art, through to the twentieth century, when Surrealists drew on archetypes from the unconscious, artists have embedded symbols in their works. As with previous volumes in the Guide to Imagery series, the goal of this book is to provide contemporary readers and museum visitors with the tools to read the hidden meanings in works of art. This latest volume is divided thematically into four sections featuring symbols related to time, man, space (earth and sky), and allegories or moral lessons. Readers will learn, for instance, that night, the primordial mother of the cosmos, was often portrayed in ancient art as a woman wrapped in a black veil, whereas day or noon was often represented in Renaissance art as a strong, virile man evoking the full manifestation of the sun's energy. Each entry in the book contains a main reference image in which details of the symbol or allegory being analyzed are called out for discussion. In the margin, for quick access by the reader, is a summary of the essential characteristics of the symbol in question, the derivation of its name, and the religious tradition from which it springs.
