Author Description

Another instalment in our series of study aids to Massey's voluminous works, our 'Notes' are designed to help people reading Massey come to a better understanding of what he was saying by providing full references, full quotations, illustrations and plates he refers to throughout this volume, and elucidate on obscure points, clarify points discussed, provide English translations of quotes, and make the reader aware of any errors, most of which have now been corrected. This series is compatible with any edition as it follows the pagination of the originals, so can be used in conjunction with those, the reprints, or the revised versions. This rather hefty volume justifies its size by providing hundreds of notes, numerous line drawings, and 50 plates. It is an essential purchase for anyone seriously studying this much misunderstood thinker. Full names of authors, titles, publishing details of all the works referred to will be found in the Bibliography in Masseiana Volume 2.
