The second edition of this unique dictionary, which has been significantly expanded, provides a comprehensive listing of items, ideas, characteristics, and scenarios from both ancient and modern times, along with their corresponding symbols. This book serves as a companion to Symbolism: A Comprehensive Dictionary (2012), offering a distinctive approach by presenting symbols and their associated referents in reverse association. It goes beyond a mere reconfiguration of information and offers insightful examples. For instance, a symbol for hell is depicted as descending stairs, while a characteristic associated with Saint Benedict is a raven. The gemstone amber symbolizes joy following sorrow. This dictionary encompasses a wide range of applications, including ethnic, literary, artistic, religious, heraldic, numerical, folkloric, occult, and psychological usages. It serves as a valuable resource for scholars, researchers, and enthusiasts interested in exploring the rich tapestry of symbols and their meanings across various cultural and historical contexts.
