Description

This work is unusual in that it is both unfinished and fictive. A massive and astonishingly boring book in which the author attempts to resolve all known world mythologies in terms of his understanding of the Christian kerygma. The book was edited by, and not credited to, his wife, Dorothea Brooke (Casaubon). A distressing book in every way.
