While acknowledging that a return to the "archaic" is no longer possible, Eliade passionately insists on the value of understanding this view in order to enrich our contemporary imagination of what it is to be human. Jonathan Z. Smith's new introduction provides the contextual background to the book and presents a critical outline of Eliade's argument in a way that encourages readers to engage in an informed conversation with this classic text.

A collection of essays on the archaic religion of the authors Romanian homeland; long out of print and scarce in trade. 'Few areas have a more enigmatic-or fas-cinating-religious history than that once called Dacia and Romania orientalia, territories that today comprise Romania, Bulgaria, Yugoslavia, and Macedonia. One of the world's most eminent scholars in the history of religions, Mircea Eliade presents in this volume a series of essays illuminating that history. Of interest to both the specialist and the general reader, Zalmoxis is the only work on its subject available in English. Professor Eliade's study covers such topics as the origins of the ethnic name of the Dacians; the cult of Zalmoxis, mysterious god of the ancient Getae; the folk cosmogonic myth in Romanian folklore; the mythico-ritual meanings of legends concerning the founding of the Moldavian state; and the significance of folk beliefs involving magic and ecstasy, the mandragora, and the gathering of medicinal herbs for religious purposes. Professor Eliade has attempted to decipher the meanings of the few available historical documents dealing with the religious history of this area. Further, since the meaning of a belief or a religious behavior pattern does not become manifest except in the light of comparisons, he has considered the documents against the background of the general history of religions. For each of the author's essays some brief text or tradition is used as a clue to reveal a whole hidden world of religious significance. This, in turn, both illuminates the specific text and, through the imaginative and convincing use of cross-cultural parallels, other texts and traditions as well. The majority of essays ultimately touch upon a major methodological question or the illumination of a basic structure in the history of religions.' (From the DJ flap).

Eliade takes up the problem of shamanism; he succeeds in defining its bounds, so that, for the first time in the history of religions, a clear idea can be formed of what shamanism is and what it is not." - Profeessor M. Leenhardt. "Eliade's works are never limited to a simple description of facts: they always contain a keen analysis followed by a synthesis. The present book has the same qualities. It is clearly the best work on shamanism published so far." - Professor R.A. Stein. "For the English translation of his book, Professor Eliade has freely revised, corrected, and augmented.
