Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With 25 illustrations. This extended essay on fertility worship in the Classical period was written by Robert Payne Knight, a distinguished English scholar, parlimentarian, writer, and antiquarian. Published in 1786, this book shocked English society to such an extent that Knight took it upon himself to supress it. Although the study of the history of religion has vastly advanced since Knight's day, this was one of the first books to deal with the issue of sexuality and religion.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: HAVING last made a curious discovery, that in a Province of this Kingdom, and not fifty miles from its Capital, a sort of devotion is still paid to PRIAPUS, the obscene Divinity of the Ancients (though under another denomination), I thought it circumstance worth recording; particularly, as it offers a fresh proof of the similitude of the Popish and Pagan Religion, so well observed by Dr. Middleton, in his celebrated Letter from Rome: and therefore I mean to deposit the authentic proofs of this assertion in the British Museum, when a proper opportunity shall offer. In the meantime I send you the following account, which, I flatter myself, will amuse you for the present, and may in future serve to illustrate those proofs. I had long ago discovered, that the women and children of the lower class, at Naples, and in its neighbourhood, frequently wore, as an ornament of dress, a sort of Amulets, (which they imagine to be a preservative from the mal occhii , evil eyes , or enchantment) exactly similar to those which were worn by the ancient Inhabitants of this Country for the very same purpose, as likewise for their supposed invigorating influence; and all of which have evidently a relation to the Cult of Priapus. Struck with this conformity in ancient and modern superstition, I made a collection of both the ancient and modern Amulets of this sort, and placed them together in the British Museum, where they remain. The modern Amulet most in vogue represents a hand clinched, with the point of the thumb thrust betwixt the index and middle finger; the next is a shell; and the third is a half-moon.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Discourse on the Worship of Priapus delves into the intricate relationship between fertility worship and sexuality in the Classical period. Written by an esteemed English scholar and antiquarian, Richard Payne Knight, this seminal 1786 work explores the veneration of Priapus, the god of fertility, offering an unprecedented examination of the interplay between religion and sexuality. Knight's insightful analysis shocked contemporary society, leading to its initial suppression. Despite advancements in the study of religious history, Knight's essay remains a pioneering text, shedding light on ancient phallic symbolism and its cultural significance. This profound exploration offers readers a unique perspective on the historical context of fertility worship, encapsulating the enduring impact of Knight's scholarly contributions.

Book excerpt: THE following pages are offered simply as a con- tribution to science. The progress of human society has, in different ages, presented abundance of hor- rors and abundance of vices, which, in treating history popularly, we are obliged to pass over gently, and often to conceal; but, nevertheless, if we neglect or suppress these facts altogether, we injure the truth of history itself, almost in the same manner as we should injure a manís health by destroying some of the nerves or muscles of his body. The superstitions which are treated in the two essays which form the present volume, formed a very important element in the working of the social frame in former ages, óin fact, during a very great part of the existence of man in this world, they have had much influence inwardly and outwardly on the character and spirit of society itself, and there- fore it is necessary for the historian to understand them, and a part of the duties of the archÊologist to investigate them. The Dissertation by Richard Payne Knight is tolerably well knownóvi CONTENTS.at least by nameóto bibliographers and antiquaries, as a book of very considerable learning, and at the same time, as one which has become extremely rare, and which, therefore, can only be obtained occasionally at a very high price. It happened that, in a time when the violence of political feelings ran very high, the author, who was a member of the House of Commons, belonged to the liberal party, and his book was spitefully misrepresented, with the design of injuring his character. We know the unjust abuse which was lavished upon him by Mathias, in his now little- read satire, the ìPursuits of Literature.î Some of the Conti- netnal archÊologists had written on kindred subjects long before the time of Payne Knight.It was thought, therefore, that a new edition of this book, pro-duced in a manner to make it more accessible to scholars, would not be unacceptable. Payne Knightís design was only to investigate the origin and meaning of a once extensively popular worship. The history of it is, indeed, a wide subject, and must include all branches of the human race, in a majority of which it is in full force at the present day, and even in our own more highly civilized branch it has continued to exist to a far more recent period than we might be inclined to suppose. It is the object of the Essay which has been written for the present volumeóof which it forms more than one halfóto investigate the existence of these superstitions among ourselves, to trace them, in fact, through the middle ages of Western Euroipe, and their influence on the history of mediÊval and on the formation of modern society, and to place in the hands of historical scholarsPREFACE viisuch of their monuments as we have been able to collect. It is hoped that, thus composed, the present volume will prove acceptable to the class of readers to whom it specially addresses itself
