Image of the World and Symbol of the Creator: On the Cosmological and Iconological Values of the Temple of Edfu

Rate this book
This study of the Temple of Edfu interprets the ontology and theology inherent in its texts, decorations and architecture; these sources are revealed to be expressive of a monistic ontology and a theology of immanence. It also discusses the metaphorical values of the temple as a representation of the world and its cultic functions as a symbol of the creator immanent in his work of creation.
