Description:
Lincoln: University of Nebraska Press, 1989. Hardcover. Good/good. Hardcover. 9 1/4" X 6 1/4". xii, 456pp. Mild rubbing, toning, and shelf wear to covers, corners, and edges of unclipped dust jacket. Bound in white cloth over boards with spine lettered in gilt. Very faint dust-spotting to edges of text block. Pages are clean and unmarked. Binding is sound. ABOUT THIS BOOK: 'Traditional' (i.e. medieval) gigantology, both scholarly and - to the extent that it existed - popular, was rooted in biblical and classical texts, and portrayed giants as depraved, evil, and godless: very different from what we see in Rabelais. Dante developed them as denizens of Hell. Giants were primarily antediluvian, and were generally understood as a race distinct from (or debased from) humanity. Key biblical giants included the nephilim (offspring of the 'sons of God and daughters of men' in Genesis 6) and the anakim (indigenous opposition to the settlement of Canaan in Numbers and Deuteronomy).(Publisher).
