Hardcover. Etat : Very Good(+). 1st ed. Green dust jacket, lime-green clothbound boards, xiv, 185 pages:i64 photographs and drawings (black and white), postscript, bibliography, index; 24 cm. From the dust jacket: "Here is a new and revolutionary interpretation of the oldest religion in Middle American civilization. A historian of religion proposes that it was a serpent, not the commonly represented jaguar, that was the religious symbol of the ancient Olmecs, who occupied southeastern Mexico and are today generally considered the forerunners of the Mayas. His "primary objestive", says author Karl W. Luckert, "is an interpretation of the Olmec religious symbolism," as he emphasizes the history-of-religions approach rather than the scientific or archaeological interpretation previously used. And certainly, in the absence of written or spoken words, the best religious expression is physical iconography". Volume 137 in The Civilization of the American Indian series. Contents: Religion and civilization. How to meet the Olmecs. Ridges and volcano heads. Volcanic serpent faces. The green reform. In the serpents mouth. How long a serpent? A mythic postscript: Western scholar in Olmec paradise. Jacket sunning to spine; minor scuffing on jacket, pages remarkably clean and white with no markings, illustrations crisp and fresh, minor discoloration on top edge but otherwise in excellent condition. Fine in very good(+) jacket, in archival mylar. N° de réf. du vendeur 102336

Hardcover with Dust Jacket. Etat : FINE. Etat de la jaquette : Very Good. First Edition. SIGNED by the author on the title page. xiv, 185pp. Sewn binding in green cloth. B/W photo illustrated throughout. FINE copy, exceedingly clean and sharp; DJ tips a bit worn, price clipped. We acquired this along with Dr. Luckert's personal scholarly library, and he graciously signed all of his author-copy. 'Here is a new and revolutionary interpretation of the oldest religion in Middle American civilization. A historian of religions proposes that it was a serpent, not the commonly represented jaguar, that was the religious symbol of the ancient Olmecs, who occupied southeastern Mexico and are today generally considered the forerunners of the Mayas. His 'primary objective,' says author Karl W. Luckert, 'is an interpretation of Olmec religious symbolism,' as he emphasizes the history-of-religions approach rather than the scientific or archaeological interpretation previously used. And certainly, in the absence of written or spoken words, the best religious expression is physical iconography. The author presents this curiously compelling topic in intriguing fashion. He begins with a definition of religion as 'man's response to so-conceived greater-than-human reality configurations' and proceeds from this definition to volcanoes, to pyramids, to pyramid serpents, to mosaic sculptures. He uses the concept as a basis for his contention that it was a serpent (complete with fangs, toothless gums, and a bifid tongue) rather than the jaguar which fascinated the Olmecs. From his considerable research and observation of zoo reptiles, he identifies the enigmatic La Venta mosaic masks as realistic representations of the green rattlesnake, Crotalus durissus durissus. Engrossingly written and illustrated with 64 photographs and drawings, this book boldly presents a new insight into the formative period of one of the world's greatest archaic civilizations. Signed.
