Add to basketMaximo D. Ramos. Creatures of Philippine Lower Mythology. Quezon City: University of the Philippines Press, 1971, xxiv, 390 pp. *** A pioneering study of beings of the underworld often invoked to scare Filipino common folk. Ramos has scaled down a subject of enormous diversity and complexity to a pantheon of twelve (12) basic types. Many Filipinos believe that harmful spirits often inhabit their homes and workplaces, often profoundly affecting their thoughts, behavior, values, and world views. With extensive tables, Appendices, and Index in back. Owner's name in Chinese characters rubber stamped in red ink on front end paper and title page. The original wrap around color illustrated Dust Jacket (not price clipped) is in a clear protective cover. This book is in my inventory and the images are of this particular item. Extremely scarce. *** Bound in black cloth boards and spine with silver lettering on spine. The covers are clean with very light wear, the bottom corners moderately bumped. The jacket is clean with light wear and a few tiny chips on edges, three short closed tears repaired on verso with archival tape. The contents are clean and complete in a good binding. VG/ VG. *** 9.5 inches tall by 6.25 inches.
