Reflections on Resemblance, Ritual, and Religion
42: Oxford University Press, 1989. 1st Edition. Hardcover. The classical Vedic texts that deal with large-scale sacrificial ritual and those writings that deal with domestic ritual have traditionally been treated as unrelated. The former are devoted to the explication of rituals that are dominated by wealthy male elites; the latter concern humble private ceremonies more open to female participation. Reflections on Resemblance, Ritual and Religion argues that there is in fact, a fundamental connection between these two large and important bodies of Indic religious literature. **** Inside the cover is a bookplate of Lauri Honko, famous Finnish professor of folklore studies. Flyleaf has a small marking. Only small wear otherwise and the dust jacket has a faded spine. 265 pp. Very Good / Very Good. Item #1047
