mong the most remarkable and the most puzzling representations found in all civilizations and all periods until the end of the Middle Ages must be numbered the human forms bearing the heads of animals. I refer, of course, only to those hybrid figures which occur in a religious, magical or symbolical context and must therefore be expected to embody religious ideas and superstitious practices. Without undertaking an exhaustive study of the earlier history of the problem in the oriental religions, my intention is to publish select and representative monuments which elucidate the history, morphology and changes in the symbolic meaning of these hybrid forms from Roman times onwards.
