Book Description
Mineola, NY: Dover Publishing, 2002 This 2002 edition is a reprint of the Dover original 1978 book. "The vast pantheon of gods, saints, demons, and protectors associated with Tibetan tantric Bhuddism fostered the development of a rich tradition of spells, charms, amulets, and talismans, yielding a form of artistic expression of the highest order. This visually exciting and philosophically stimulating study features over 230 examples of the vibrant and espressive art of tantric charms and amulets. Meticulously reproduced from the original Tibetan woodblocks, these seldom-seen illustrations consist largely of diagrams or other representations of secret protective formulae. They range from edible charms, prayer flags, and good-luck banners to healing amulets and charms for wealth, prosperity, long life, wisdom and favorable rebirth. Informative introductory material supplies religious, philosophic, historic and artistic background, with many quotations from classical Asian texts. In addition each illustration appears with a detailed commentary on the symbols depicted and on the item's intended purpose. xxxiv+273 pages. Unabridged." Book is in as-new condition - almost. It has been dropped, and the front cover shows two "crumples"/bends at the lower right corner. Otherwise, book hasn't been read - or even opened, apparently. No store stamps, markings, scribbles, or dogeared pages found. Binding as-new, tight and firm. Inventory #DOU-561.. Reprint. Paperback. Very Good/No Jacket. 12 1/4" x 9 3/8".
