About the Author

Hans Biedermann (1930-1990) was born in Vienna, where he studied natural sciences and philosophy. Biedermann was a professor at the University of Graz in Austria. He was the author of Dictionary of Symbolism: Cultural Icons and the Meanings Behind Them, which Library Journal noted as being "valuable for its elucidation of both the esoteric and commonplace."

James Hulbert is a translator of texts from German and French to English. His specialties include linguistics, philosophy, and social science. He earned a PhD in comparative literature from Yale University. He has published translations including Hans Biedermann's Dictionary of Symbolism, and has collaborated on the translations of Wolfgang Lindig's Navajo: Tradition and Change in the Southwest, and Jacques Derrida's Parages. He is the author of the novel A Kiss Before You Leave Me and prepared the 2017 edition of Jim Carpenter's Weaving the Text. Hulbert is preparing an edition of Carpenter's writings on art.
