An Illustrated Encyclopaedia of Traditional Symbols > Customer Review #1:
an excellent research source

I recently used this book for a research report on number symbolism. While becoming familiar with the text, I realized that the book contained extensive information on all symbols. After the report, I decided to purchase the book for future reference. Mr. Cooper did an outstanding and comprehensive job researching all types of symbols. Furthermore, by dividing his analysis of each symbol into different cultures, comparing and contrasting meaning was simple. I am indebted to this excellent reference source.

An Illustrated Encyclopaedia of Traditional Symbols > Customer Review #2:
This is the most thorough dictionary of symbols.

J.C. Coopers Dictionary of Symbols is the most thorough dictionary of symbology available. For its cultural diversity, clarity, and fairness of discourse it is without parallel. Cooper has been meticulous in her researches providing perspectives from all relevant fields of mysticism. Illustrations are classic rendering an ancient perspective on timeless themes. The dictionary also avoids gendre exclusive language in general while remaining faithful to original systems of belief. A most invaluable source for any work related to symbology, signs, iconic references, religious motifs and philosophical research to name a handful of endeavours that would benefit from Coopers work. She is without peer in terms of having produced a reference guide that will be used long into the next millenium. A solid, integral piece of scholarship.
