Excerpt from The Migration of Symbols One of the most remarkable instances of the migration qfa symbolical type is that afforded by the trash/ion tripes or, as we more familiarly know it, the Three Legs of Man. It first ap pears on the coins of Lycia, circa 480; and then on those of Sicily, where it was adopted by Agathocles, b.c. 317-7, but not as a symbol of the Morning, Mid-day and Afternoon Sun [the Three Steps of Vishnu but of the three-sided, or rather three-ended, or three-pointed [tri quetrous land of Trin-akria, Three Capes, the ancient name of Sicily; and, finally, from the seventeenth century, on the coins of the Isle of Man; where, as Mr. John Newton has shown, in the At/zemum of the roth of September, 1892, it was introduced by Alexander III.

Western literary, philosophical, and religious traditions from Plato and Paul to Augustine and Avicenna have utilized, exploited, or been subjected to allegorical interpretation. Naturally developing a composite picture of interpretive allegory from such a large landscape faces numerous difficulties. As the editor puts it, “to imagine a ‘definitive’ account of the theory and practice of allegorical interpretation in the West would require something of an allegorical vision in its own right.” With that caveat in mind, however, the international team of contributors—from a variety of disciplines—offers a “historical and conceptual framework” for understanding interpretive allegory in the West, from antiquity through the early and late medieval and renaissance periods, and from the eighteenth through the twentieth centuries.

Mr. Goblet d'Alviella's, The migration of symbols, is one of the foundations of archeological and cross-cultural studies on symbolism. While these branches have evolved and new discoveries have been made since the introduction of his work, the methodological approach along with the thoughts of Mr. Goblet d'Alveilla remain vital to all who seek a deeper understanding of the field as well as those of esotericism and Freemasonry. The work includes 169 illustrations and over 400 references.

A study of the migration and mutation of symbols by a late 19th century Belgian lawyer and Masonic scholar, Count Goblet d'Alviella (b. 1846, d. 1925). Originally published in 1891 in French, this book covers a huge web of interchangeable symbols, which are found over a wide range of cultures through the Near East, India, Europe, and further abroad, notably in Mesoamerica. He attempts to explain the widespread use of symbols such as the Swastika, the Tree of Life, the Winged Globe, the Trident and the Caduceus. Despite the title, d'Alviella does not adhere to one theory; instead he has a whole toolkit, including diffusion, mutation, independent origins and appropriation, as well as psychological, historical and sociological explanations. He demonstrates that the same symbol can have different interpretations in different cultures and at different times. Such is the case with the swastika, which today is obviously associated with absolute evil, but which has been used historically as a symbol of the Sun's yearly path, and regarded as a good-luck symbol, even to this day, in the far East. With over 150 line illustrations, this book is an invaluable source book for symbologists, and makes fascinating reading for readers interested in the development of religion.
