Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the causes, nature, and types of monsters. The author's approach is rooted in classical and ancient sources, particularly Aristotle, Hippocrates, Galen, and Avicenna. However, the ideas presented are timeless, and the book's insights remain relevant today. A primary focus of the book is the distinction between different types of monsters. The author categorizes monsters into three main groups: those born of animals, those born of humans, and those born of both. Beyond this, they categorize monsters into three additional classes based on their outward appearance: multiform, uniform, and disproportionate. The author dissects each category, providing rich descriptions and detailing the work of ancient scholars to explain each type of monster. The author also contemplates the origins of monsters by examining environmental factors, divine intervention, and imagination. This book is an essential read for anyone interested in monsters, folklore, and the history of science.
