Sir James George Frazer (1854-1941) schottischer Anthropologe u. Religionswissenschaftler, der durch seine Forschungen wesentlich zur Anerkennung der Ethnologie als Wissenschaft beitrug. Wesentlich ist seine Schlussfolgerung, dass die Evolution des menschlichen Geistes auf der Reihenfolge Magie-Religion-Wissenschaft beruhe. Entgegen dieser evolutionistische Auffassung werden heute noch seine detaillierten Studien zur Mythologie als Quellen geschätzt. H.P. Lovecraft nennt in einigen Erzählungen das Frazer's vorliegendes Hauptwerk, dtsch. "Der Goldene Zweig", zur Verstärkung seiner eigenen Horror-Mythen. - All covers a bit knocked, rubbed and slightly spotted; one Volume bound in head over heels; preliminary pages with owner's stamps and marks; pages not cut, else good copies.
