Excellent portable guide.......2007-07-14
When I bought this book, I needed a quick and dirty reference to religious symbolism in western art--I was pleased and surprised to find out that it's small, lightweight, and therefore portable when I visit museums. (Why don't more publishers consider weight and size when they print books for travelers? Lonely Planet and DK, I'm looking at you.)
Its easy size belies the incredible amount of useful information it contains; there are fourteen sections covering everything from the significance of certain animals to religious garments to a brief hagiography for commonly portrayed saints. About one-third of the book is a set of reproductions (sadly b&w in this edition) of famous renaissance religious paintings. There's no discussion or explanation accompanying the paintings--which is the only thing I don't like about the book.
And if you read one of the earlier reviews and are wondering about the chocolate mouse in Rosemary's Baby, it's a reference to mice as a symbol of evil because of their destructiveness.
Great reference guide.......2007-06-29
I use this book frequently, especially when studying art books of Christian art as well as during a recent Bible study of the Book of Exodus. This was an invaluable guide to the symbolism used in art and the various meanings. For example, when studying the symbolic meaning of the priests robes of the Old Testament, the meaning of the pomegranate for the OT and NT is significant. In the OT, the pomegranate stood for the 613 Mosaic laws (the pomegranate was thought to contain 613 seeds). In the NT, the pomegranate is the symbol for the resurrection of Christ. The Hebrews believed following the law led them to God. For the Christian, belief in Jesus' death and resurrection leads to God! Enjoy this read.
Beginning reference for lives of saints and iconography.......2005-10-28
Although not encyclopaedic, this book, first published in 1954, is indispensable to the art history, religious art, iconographic, and religious lives student. The essays are of significant depth without excessive volume, and the illustrations, although of a limited period (Medieval through Renaissance), are pungent enough from which to learn. Two limitation I will remark:
There are no representations from Eastern- or Byzantine- iconography.
The illustrations are all black and white.
Great.......2005-05-12
I study Art history, and christian art. This book primarily focuses in on Renaissance paintings and thier symbols. I found it to be useful and detail orientated. A very good reference book.
A must for art history students.......2005-02-07
If you are an art history student, this book is an absolute must. While there are many books that contradict one another when it comes to symbolism, this book is one that commonly agrees with others I have read or consulted.
For as inexpensive as this book is, you cannot afford NOT to get this book!

The diverse selection of photographs is accompanied by texts describing the cultural and social significance of signs. You may even learn things from this book that could save your life the next time you travel!

odd, fun book.......2004-12-12
This collection of 1000 signs covers everything from postings you see every day to those that are unique to various locations, such as Australia's kangaroo crossing sign. Chapters are: Animals, Man, Stop, Dog, Transport, Children, Miscellaneous, Danger, Weapons, Toilets, No! and Work. Not much text, printed in English, German and French. Photos are in color. Photographers and locations credited, but no index. This is a goofy but fun book, and interesting to leaf through.
Signposting around the planet........2004-07-10
The title of this intriguing chunky photo book has a word missing, it should have been '1000 ROAD SIGNS'. Actually probably about 940 official highway signs and the rest being privately made but still relating to roads. The three-language text for the twelve chapters (Animals, Man, Stop, Dog, Transport, Children, Miscellaneous, Danger, Weapons, Toilets, No! and Work) is on single pages and mixed into the relevant photo sections. Considering that the subject matter is rather uninspiring, visually this book looks rather good, photos are twelve, six, four or one to a page and there are plenty of spreads with one photo.
There are some pretty weird signs, too. One from South Africa has an explanation mark in a triangle with three words below, 'CAUTION ROAD STOLEN', Australia has a no swearing sign, a red outline circle with a red diagonal across the body of a man, by his head there are five marks, *!#"?.
I'm not quite sure who this book is aimed at, highway engineers and transport planners, graphic designers, or readers who go for quirky books (me) but as it was produced in conjunction with Colors Magazine (Taschen published their '1000 Extraordinary Objects ISBN 382285851X) you can be assured of something a bit different to leave on your coffee table.

best.......2007-03-08
This is one of my favorite books on symbols
only thing is the description or title of the symbol
is listed at the beginning of each chapter I found it
annoying always having to flip back but still love this
book
Very Interesting.......2006-12-23
I am primarily interested in Christian symbolism and this book has quite a few, though not meant as an exhaustive resource on any particular set of symbols. I enjoyed the broad range of symbols this book presents - Mayan, Egyptian, metaphysical, Asian, and even some hobo symbols (plus lots more). This book is truly a good general reference for symbol meanings. It is a bit sparse on the origins of the symbols, but certainly supplies enough information to get my interest piqued in different symbols!
A Wonderful Collection of Symbols.......2001-10-03
Dover Publications scores yet again! This book hits a home run with bases loaded for many reasons.
First, it is jam-packed with thousands of symbols, signs, marks, inscriptions and engravings. All are in black and white, and all are excellent quality.
Second, the book presents a fascinating range of symbols, organized by subject, including: Symbolic Gods and Dieties (included are Egyptian, Assyrian, Greek/Roman, Nordic and Aztec Gods), Astronomy and Astrology, Alchemy, Magic, Church and Religion, Heraldry, Japanese Crests, Cattle Brands, and a large section containing some of the distinctive marks of the medieval european craftsman/guild marks and signets.
Third, this is a surprisingly useful reference. For writers, historian, artists, and the incurably curious, here is a book that sets out, for example, all of the alchemical signs for the materials (gold, silver, etc) and alchemical processes, a host of Catholic and other ancient christian religious symbols, nice engravings of all the important Egyptian gods, etc etc.
Highly Recommended.
A thorough collection of symbols, signs, and signets..........2001-03-08
This book has over 200 pages of various symbols, ranging from simple drawings to intricate designs. They are arranged in historical order, begin with various gods and end with hobo signs. Each chapter is preceded with a list of references (the signs are identified by number) and the symbols included are grouped like so:
Symbolic Gods & Deities; Astronomy & Astrology; Alchemy; Magic & Mystic; Church Religion; Heraldry; Monsters & Imaginary Figures; Japanese Crests; Marks & Signets; Watermarks; Printers Marks; Cattle Brands; and Hobo Signs.
There are over 1350 illustrations contained in this book, and all are crisply printed in black and white. Each section has a short blurb in front of it, but not an extensive history. This book would appeal to history lovers, graphic designers, and other symbol geeks. And for the price, it's worth buying.
No one-day checkout for me!.......2000-05-12
The books in the Dover Pictorial Archive series offer aninsurmountable number of clean black-and-white plates, usuallyfollowed by a caption detailing the original materials where the plates originated. Unfortunately, Symbols, Signs, and Signets doesn't have captions at the bottom of the page, instead making do with an page-by-page index at the beginning of each section. Otherwise, this volume includes symbols from quite literary all over - astrology, alchemy, religion, signatures, cattle marks, and many others. The book is excellent for hatching new interests, probably because most of the intriguing images have uninspired captions. A worthwhile purchase, if you are interested in this sort of thing. Quite cheap, too. END
Book Description
Semiotics—the study of signs and sign systems—has become part of the curriculum of most art schools, and this accessible, visually outstanding introduction strikes the perfect balance between theory and practice. By examining text and image in advertising, as well as “high art” versus “popular culture,” it reveals the difference between signs (such as a word or picture) and signifiers (the concept or object to which it refers).
Customer Reviews:
A must have for advertisers and artists.......2007-05-15
If you are into methods of marketing and how symbols and words play on each other then this book is for you. I really enjoyed all the images that came along with each chapter. The book is laid out well, divided clearly with each chapter so that it's easy to follow. Definitely a steal through amazon.
Book Description
Famed German type designer renders 493 symbols: religious, alchemical, imperial, runes, property marks, etc. Timeless.
Customer Reviews:
pleasent viewing.......2002-12-22
Koch was a type setter with qualifications in Theology.
Primarily the works value is asthetic, I find it worth owning as a cheap collectable addition to my shelf.
Brief histories of each sign have a slight Christian slant, although not over bearing.
Illustrations are made from beautiful wood cuts and the type is of his own design.
Besides peeking the interests of occultist and broad minded Christians it is considered of value by graphic artists.
Heavily Illustrated.......2001-07-08
This is a well illustrated book on symbols. I would not call it an essential book for research purposes but it is a nice addition to the library. Some of the symbology is redundant (the furca is illustrated at least 3 times within the book) and I don't find all the explanations agreeable with other resources.
A Graphic Historical Reference Book.......2000-11-23
Rudolph Kock, graphic designer, typesetter and bookbinder put together these some 400+ signs along with a good historical capsule along each symbol. I found it to be useful when looking up a symbol and to understand some aspect of the sign, although not entirely in full, but a brief understanding of its roots. While not every sign of occultism is assimulated in this book, there is still plenty for one to be satisfied with. Most of the signs are from Early Christian traditions and those that have stemmed from that religion. Orginally these designs were woodcuts by Frik Kredel, Offenbach and Main. The font used to print in the book was created by Koch himself known as magere deutsche type. Originally published in 1930, this Dover edition is worth every penny, for the artist and the occultist.
A Pictoral Review of Signs.......2000-05-10
This is, as its title suggests, an expansive collection of pictoral signs primarily from European sources. The signs are beautifully reproduced, but if you are looking for comprehensive genealogies of the signifiers, you should probably look elsewhere. This book has 493 well-reproduced signs, but their histories are minimally documented without any source/ primary documentation of their origins. The signs are described in short, declarative sentences which readers curious about the meaning of the signs might find discomforting. The research here is not without merit or credibility, but the book is for readers interested in signs for their visual grandeur rather than their significance. An interesting and affordable introduction to signs.

1000 Symbols: What Shapes Mean in Art and Myth
ASIN: 0500271259 |
Book Description
People all over the world have always used symbols to express and communicate the things that mean most to them. From a country's flag, which can signify more than patriotism, to a charm bracelet, with its "portable memories," symbolism takes various forms. Familiarity with symbolism opens up levels of understanding most of us have probably never been aware of. Why, for instance, do we share a secret with the words "a little bird told me?" What is it about a horseshoe that, in the right circumstances, brings luck? Why a horse's shoe? How old is the swastika, and where has it been used as a symbol (and what was Jung getting at when he said the Nazis used it "backwards")?
In nearly 1500 entries, many of them strikingly and often surprisingly illustrated, J.C. Cooper has documented the history and evolution of symbols from pre-history to our own day. Lively, informative and often ironic, she discusses and explains an enormous variety of symbols extending from the Arctic to Dahomey, from the Iroquois to Oceania, and coming from systems as diverse as Tao, Christianity, Judaism, Buddhism, Islam, Tantra, the ancient cult of Cybele and the Great Goddess, the Pre-Columbian religions of the Western Hemisphere and the Voodoo cults of Brazil and West Africa.

A Great Resource.......2007-07-05
I found this book to be an indispensable companion while reading the works of Campbell and Jung. Extremely interesting and very thorough.
Donna.......2006-08-31
While I have just begun to enjoy this tremendous work that came highly recommended to me, I am already somewhat disappointed in the limited, male-oriented, patriarchal interpretation of some indisputably feminine symbols like the Minoan Great Mother Goddess referenced and pictured under the entry, AXE on page 16. Described as a 'phallic' representation of her 'parthenogenetic fertility,' and as a, 'Solar emblem of the 'sky gods,' and later as an, 'emblem of Saint John the Babtist,' this is clearly a female iconic Goddess figure holding a double-sided LABRYS (axe) in each upraised arm. The Labrys is a feminine symbol associated with the female Amazons that were Priestesses of Artemis, the Moon Goddess. During their time, lunar energies were associated with the Goddess, and feminine power, NOT masculine, phallic, sky-Gods.
An excellent resource.......2004-12-25
An excellent resource on symbolism. Very comprehensive in presenting information from many traditions and cultures. Includes wonderful illustrations and photos that serve to enrich the information provided. As well as being informative, it provides the reader with much to think about and deepen his/her understanding of symbols. Indispensible in my library.
an excellent research source.......1999-11-29
I recently used this book for a research report on number symbolism. While becoming familiar with the text, I realized that the book contained extensive information on all symbols. After the report, I decided to purchase the book for future reference. Mr. Cooper did an outstanding and comprehensive job researching all types of symbols. Furthermore, by dividing his analysis of each symbol into different cultures, comparing and contrasting meaning was simple. I am indebted to this excellent reference source.
This is the most thorough dictionary of symbols........1999-07-29
J.C. Cooper's Dictionary of Symbols is the most thorough dictionary of symbology available. For its cultural diversity, clarity, and fairness of discourse it is without parallel. Cooper has been meticulous in her researches providing perspectives from all relevant fields of mysticism. Illustrations are classic rendering an ancient perspective on timeless themes. The dictionary also avoids gendre exclusive language in general while remaining faithful to original systems of belief. A most invaluable source for any work related to symbology, signs, iconic references, religious motifs and philosophical research to name a handful of endeavours that would benefit from Cooper's work. She is without peer in terms of having produced a reference guide that will be used long into the next millenium. A solid, integral piece of scholarship.

Incredible book!.......2007-05-24
I'm impressed, I knew what I wanted to read about and have closely to me when I work (I'm a graphic designer) but to have so much info and in such a detail at your finger tips... now I have the best thing when it comes to symbols, sign or logos. A must have for my filed of work.
Addendum to Symbols.......2005-10-14
The Crutch Cross defined in Group 28 is most famous as a symbol of the Spanish Empire. For example, it appears on many of the old minted Spanish silver dollars, aka, pieces-of-eight reales,
of the Empire's treasure ships.
Out of date.......2005-10-13
This book has its strengths, but it is hopelessly out of date. It is much better to opt for Liungman's 2004 edition, Symbols -- Encyclopedia of Western Signs and Ideograms (ISBN 9197270504). It covers a lot more signs, even modern ones such as the At sign.
Dictionary of Symbols (Norton Paperback).......2005-08-03
This book gave me the exact information I was looking for. I incorporate symbology in my paintings and this book gives just the amount of information and design to accomplish my aims.
Most Useful "Symbol Dictionary" I've Seen, But..........2005-05-05
It still has its glaring flaws. Far too many symbols (about a dozen) have "meaning uncertain" in their definitions. What's the purpose of including symbols in a dictionary if you don't know what they mean? That's unhelpful. Several modern symbols are missing from the book. This may be due to its original Swedish publication date of 1974. The most glaring omission is the famous "NO" sign (circle with diagonal line across it) which is not mentioned at all in the section with symbols of similar construction. It's obvious the author's major interests were in astrology, alchemy, and mysticism. Many definitions are shallow and incomplete, but the astrological symbol definitions contain an overabundance of information far beyond what is pertinent to the meaning of the symbol. It's not necessary to describe the personality traits of Aries and list which planets are auspicious and which are unfortunate in that sign. All Liungman needed to do was say "astrological symbol for Aries" and perhaps give the dates when the sun is in that part of the sky. His ramblings are interesting at times - I did not know that the five-pointed star was discovered by plotting the recurrent appearances of Venus, and that information does add to my understanding of the symbol and its use. But in the same definition (which is 5 1/2 pages long) Liungman goes into a rant about Judeo-Christian patriarchal society as opposed to ancient Mesopotamian goddess-cults, all of which is impertinent to the use and meaning of the symbol supposedly under discussion. Many other definitions contain seemingly anti-Christian criticism which is not relevant, not objective, and not professional. Those of us familiar with history are aware of the crimes perpetrated by the Church. As a Christian, I'm justly embarrased by my faith's ignoble past, but Liungman's opinions about it seem out-of-place in what is supposed to be a factual dictionary of the meanings of symbols.
Complaints aside, the book was - overall - quite informative and interesting to read. Information about the basic elements of symbols really makes it possible to use this book to create new symbol combinations. A chapter of the introduction discusses the possibility of an international ideographic language. The method of organization in the dictionary itself was ingenious, and easy to use once you figure out Liungman's system. Symbols are organized into groups depending on whether they are symmetric, are open or closed, contain straight or curved lines, and contain crossing lines. There are 54 possible combinations of these variables, which make up the 54 "groups" of symbols in the Dictionary. Most are extensively cross-referenced to other signs with similar meanings or structures. There's a word index in the back, so you can find symbols based on their meaning. There's also a symbol index and a chart which you can use to analyze a symbol and figure out which group it will be in. A few symbols seemed mis-classified but overall I found the system to be very useful. Out of the 5 or 6 symbol dictionaries I've looked at, this is the one most useful for actually "looking up" an unknown symbol - which brings this one out of the class of "coffee-table book for casual browsing" and into the realm of "working reference book."

Good resource but get the version with CDs of all the artwork.......2005-12-01
Good resource book for design. But, even better- you can get 4811 icons/signs you see in the book on a CD as editable vector EPS files, all royalty free. The publisher, [...] sells it for two hundred fifty usd. I haven't seen it on Amazon yet.
A "Wow". A meticulously produced, comprehensive collection........2005-11-12
Wow! What a great book. I've never before seen such a comprehensive collection of contemporary signs, symbols and labels as this. They all look to be extremely accurate and well organized. There are interesting background essays on the many categories of symbols, such as the history and development of Braille, and a complete alphabetical index of all 4,811 images. I highly recommend this meticulously produced reference for your design (or any other) library.
