This dictionary, published by Siruela, is the definitive version of the author's most important prose work, combining poetry and art criticism. The work examines how symbols have influenced medieval, Renaissance, and Baroque art, and how the discovery of the unconscious has revived their relevance. This edition includes new entries and the article 'Phonetic Symbolism', with an epilogue by Victoria Cirlot that relates the work to the author's life and thought.
Juan Eduardo Cirlot Laporta was a Spanish poet, art critic, hermeneutist, mythologist, and musician.
