Publisher's Synopsis
""A Comparison of Egyptian Symbols With Those of the Hebrew"" by Frederic Portal is a scholarly work that analyzes the similarities and differences between the symbols used in ancient Egyptian and Hebrew cultures. The book explores the historical and cultural contexts in which these symbols were created and used, and provides detailed explanations of their meanings and significance. The author draws on a wide range of sources, including ancient texts, archaeological evidence, and comparative studies of other ancient cultures. The book is intended for scholars and students of ancient history, religion, and symbolism, as well as anyone interested in the cultural and intellectual history of the ancient Near East.The origin of the science of symbols is lost in the distance of time, and seems to be connected with the cradle of humanity. The oldest religions were governed by it; the arts of design, architecture, statuary and painting were born under its influence, and primitive writing was one of its applications. This book compares the Egyptian symbols with those found in the works of Hebrews.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
