Book Description: Harcourt Brace Jovanovich, USA, 1972. Soft Cover. Book Condition: Very Good. First Paperback. Sml 4to. HEAVY. xiii, 381pp, index, maps, bw text figures, 22 plates (17 col). Or pictorial card covers. Spine creased, front cover creased at bottom corner, slight rubbing and discoloration of covers, prev owners initials on front blank, brown mark on second blank. An enigma of cultural hisotry has been the identity of the sacred plant called Soma in the Rig Veda. The author advances and documents the thesis that Soma was a hallucinogenic mushroom- none other than Armanita muscaria, the fly-agaric that until recent times was central to shamanic rites among Siberian and Uralic tribesmen. Throws light on the role of mushrooms in religious rites, and there is a section on post-Vedic history of Soma by a noted Sanskrit scholar. Bookseller Inventory # 014034

Book Description: Cambridge, MA:Botanical Museum of Harvard University, November 1972, 1972. Soft cover. Book Condition: Very Good. No Jacket. 1st Edition. Tall, thin 4vo (6 3/4 x 9 1/2 in.). Beige, black lettering @ front cover, none on spine. Very Good in that there are no prior owner inscriptions, names or labels, and no internal markings. However, front page has a few smudges: this book was obviously used 'out in the field.' The subject matter (as Prof. Richard Schultes says in his foreword) may not interest chemists and pharmacologists, but it certainly impinges on botany, and esp. on that field of botany concerned with psychotropic plants, anthropology and archaeology, on religion and the early cultural history of Eurasia. A very scarce and decent copy concerning the uses of this psychotomimetic "drug." 57+ pp incl Conclusion, Appendices. [MT E8 rq]. Bookseller Inventory # 01-0122MT02395

Evans Schultes. 3 Appendices : - recent bibliography on A. Muscaria – manner of ingesting the fly-agaric among Siberian natives – miscellany In this study the author answers to the critics made to him when he published his Soma divine mushroom of immortality by John Brough, Professor of Sanskrit in the University of Cambridge.

Evans Schultes. 3 appendices : - bibliographie récente sur l' A. Muscaria – la manière d'ingérer l' Amanite tue-mouches par les peuples sibériens - melanges Dans cette étude l'auteur répond aux critiques qui lui ont étés faites lors de la parution de son livre Soma divine mushroom of immortality par le Pr. John Brough spécialiste du sanscrit à l'Université de Cambridge. Gordon Wasson y réaffirme à l'aide de nouveaux arguments sa théorie de l'identification de la Soma mentionné dans les Rig Veda avec l'Amanite tue-mouches (Amanita muscaria). Robert Gordon Wasson (1898 - 1986) grand banquier et éthnobotaniste américain. Au cours de recherches mycologiques, avec son épouse Valentina au Mexique, ils deviennent en 1955 les premiers occidentaux à avoir participé au rituel Mazatèque du champignon sacré. Grâce à leur collaboration avec Roger Heim, les échantillons collectés par les Wasson sont cultivés et soumis à une étude scientifique ; ce qui permet à Albert Hofmann d'identifier la structure chimique de la psilocybine.
