Mythology Among the Hebrews

An argument that the patriarchs of Genesis are solar and lunar myths, made by the greatest European scholar of Islam in the 1870s. Goldziher was twenty-six when he wrote it and later repudiated much of it, which is itself part of the interest. This edition carries R. Martineau's translation and a gallery of 60 plates bound with the text, among them paintings by Panini, Bossi, Linton and Alma-Tadema.
