rather confirmed, the validity of this. The listener either translates
his aural impressions into those of the light-world or else yields even
more readily than usual to the “illusion” here discussed.--_Tr._

[17] G. Le Bon’s _Psychologie des Foules_ (which has been translated

[31] During his Italian sojourn of 1786-8 Goethe made up his mind
to resign his political offices at Weimar, retaining merely a
non-executive seat on the Council and definitely devoting himself to
art and science. This resolution he carried into effect on his return
to Weimar in 1788; _Tasso_ finally appeared in 1790.--_Tr._
[32] For the special sense in which the word “Civilization” is used
throughout this work see Vol. I, p. 31. Briefly, the Civilization is
the outcome of the Culture of which it is in one sense the final phase,
but in another the distinct and unlike sequel.--_Tr._
[33] Christian Leopold von Buch, 1774-1853; Cuvier, 1769-1832.--_Tr._
[34] The first proof that the basic forms of plants and animals did
not evolve, but were suddenly there, was given by H. de Vries in his
_Mutation Theory_ (1886). In the language of Goethe, we see how the
“impressed form” [See Vol. I, p. 157.--_Tr._] works itself out in the
individual samples, but not how the die was cut for _the whole genus_.
[35] With this it becomes unnecessary to postulate vast periods of
time for the original states of man, and we can regard the interval
between the oldest man-type hitherto discovered and the beginning of
the Egyptian Culture as a span, greater indeed, but certainly not
unthinkably greater, than the 5,000 years of recognized cultural
history.
[36] It is perhaps not unnecessary to remark that the word “epoch” is
used throughout this book in its proper sense of “turning point” or
“moment of change” and _not_ in the loose sense of “period” which it
has acquired.--_Tr._
[37] _Und Afrika Sprach_ (1912); _Paideuma, Umrisse einer Kultur- und
Seelenlehre_ (1920). Frobenius distinguishes three ages.
[38] This work appeared before the discovery of the Sumerian (or
Pre-Sumerian) tombs of Ur.--_Tr._
[39] See Vol. I, p. 108.--_Tr._
[40] Goethe, in his little essay “_Geistesepochen_,” has characterized
the four parts of a Culture--its preliminary, early, late, and
civilized stages--with such a depth of insight that even to-day there
is nothing to add. See the tables at the end of Vol. I, which agree
with this exactly.
[41] Another blank is the history of the countryside or landscape
(i.e., of the soil, with its plant-mantle and its weathering) in which
man’s history has been staged for five thousand years. And yet man has
so painfully wrested himself from the history of the landscape, and
withal is so held to it still by myriad fibres, that without it life,
soul, and thought are inconceivable.
So far as concerns the South-European field, from the end of the Ice
Age, a hitherto rank luxuriance gradually gave place in the plant-world
to poverty. In the course of the successive Egyptian, Classical,
Arabian, and Western Cultures, a climatic change developed all around
the Mediterranean, which resulted in the peasant’s being compelled to
fight no longer _against_ the plant-world, but _for_ it--first against
the primeval forest and then against the desert. In Hannibal’s time
the Sahara lay very far indeed to the south of Carthage, but to-day
it already penetrates to northern Spain and Italy. Where was it in
the days of the pyramid-builders, who depicted sylvan and hunting
scenes in their reliefs? When the Spaniards expelled the Moriscos,
their countryside of woods and ploughland, already only artificially
maintained, lost its character altogether, and the towns became oases
in the waste. In the Roman period such a result could not have ensued.
[42] The new method of comparative morphology affords us a safe test
of the datings which have been arrived at by other means for the
beginnings of past Cultures. The same kind of argument which would
prevent us, even in the absence of positive information, from dating
Goethe’s birth more than a century earlier than the “_Urfaust_,”
or supposing the career of Alexander the Great to have been that
of an elderly man, enables us to demonstrate, from the individual
characteristics of their political life and the spirit of their art,
thought, and religion, that the Egyptian Culture dawned somewhere
about 3000 and the Chinese about 1400. The calculations of French
investigators and more recently of Borchardt (_Die Annalen und
die zeitliche Festlegung des Alten Reiches_, 1919) are as unsound
intrinsically as those of Chinese historians for the legendary Hsia and
Shang dynasties. Equally, it is impossible that the Egyptian calendar
should have been introduced in 4241 B.C. As in every chronology we
have to allow that evolution has been accompanied by radical calendar
changes, the attempt to fix the exact starting-date _a posteriori_ is
objectless.
[43] Eduard Meyer (_Gesch. d. Altertums_, III, 97) estimates the
Persians, probably too highly, at half a million as against the fifty
millions of the Babylonian Empire. The numerical relation between the
Germanic peoples and legions of the third-century Roman emperors and
the Roman population as a whole, and that of the Ptolemaic and Roman
armies to that of the Egyptian people, was of much the same order.
[H. Delbrück, in his well-known _Gesch. der Kriegskunst_ (1908), Vol.
I, Part I, chapter i, and elsewhere, deals in considerable detail with
the strengths of ancient armies.--_Tr._]
[44] A.D. 378. See C. W. C. Oman, _History of the Art of War: Middle
Ages_ (1898), ch. i; H. Delbrück, _Gesch. der Kriegskunst_, Vol. II,

[45] In the case of Rome, the idea of a fixed frontier against
the barbarian emerged soon after the defeat of Varus, and the
fortifications of the Limes were laid down before the close of the
first century of our era.--_Tr._
[46] For at that time imperialistic tendencies found expression even in
India, in the Maurya and Sunga dynasty; these, however, could only be
confused and ineffective, Indian nature being what it was.

[49] Sir Thomas Roe, 1620. A similar mission went to Turkey on the
part of Frederick and the Bohemian nobles to ask for assistance and to
justify to the Turk their action in deposing the Habsburg King. The
answer they received was what might be expected of a great imperialist
power asked to intervene in the affairs of lesser neighbours--namely,
material guarantees of the reality of the movement it was asked to
support and pledges that no settlement would be made without its
agreement.--_Tr._
[50] Mexico City, or, better, the agglomeration of towns and villages
in the valley of Mexico.--_Tr._
[51] According to Prescott, Cortez’s force on landing had thirteen hand
firearms and fourteen cannon, great and small, altogether. The whole of
these were lost in the first defeat at Mexico. Later a pure accident
gave Cortez the contents of a supply-ship from Europe. In a military
sense horses contributed to the Spanish victories nearly if not quite
as much as firearms, but these, too, were in small numbers, sixteen at
the outset.--_Tr._
[52] The following attempt is based upon the data of two American
works--L. Spence, _The Civilization of Ancient Mexico_ (Cambridge,
1912); and H. J. Spinden, _Maya Art: Its Subject matter and Historical
Development_ (Cambridge, 1913)--which independently of one another
attempt to work out the chronology and which reach a certain measure of
agreement.
[53] Since the publication of the German original, Spinden’s further
researches (_Ancient Civilizations of Mexico_) have placed the
historical zero date at 613 B.C. (and the cosmological zero of
back-reckoning at 3373 B.C.). This historical zero seems to lie deep in
the pre-Cultural period, if later events have the dates given in the
text. But compare Author’s note on p. 39.--_Tr._
[54] These are the names of near-by villages serving as labels; the
true names are lost.
[55] And was there an element of _panem et circenses_ in the
mass-sacrifice of captives? May it be that the acceptance of the
Spaniard as the expected manifestation of the god Quetzalcoatl
(“_redeunt Saturnia regna_”), and the serious disputations on matters
of religion that took place between Montezuma and the Christians, were
presages of the phase which Spengler calls the “Second Religiousness”
(see below, p. 310) of the Civilization?--_Tr._

therefore, be judged otherwise than as an outgrowth of what never was
there.

[64] A curious sidelight on this appears in the provisions of the

[67] The “dependence” of Classical law upon Egyptian is, as it chances,
still traceable. Solon the wholesale merchant introduced into his Attic
legislation provisions concerning debt-slavery, contract, work-shyness,
and unemployment taken from Egypt. Diodorus, I, 77, 79, 94.
[68] The process is clearly explained in Goudy’s article “Roman Law,”
_Ency. Brit._, XI ed. Very roughly, the prætor corresponded to the
judge, and the judges to the jury, of modern English law, but such a
parallel must not be pressed far.--_Tr._
[69] L. Wenger, _Recht der Griechen und Römer_, pp. 166, et seq.
[70] See _Ency. Brit._, XI ed., Vol. XII, p. 502. Fragments of the
older collection referred to were found in the vicinity.--_Tr._
[71] In English legal theory the judge does not _make law_ by a new
decision, but _“declares” the law_--i.e., makes explicit what has
been implicit in the law from the first, though the occasion for its
manifestation has not hitherto arisen.--_Tr._
[72] See _Ency. Brit._, XI ed., Vol XXVI, p. 315.--_Tr._
[73] See Beloch, _Griechische Geschichte_, I, 1, p. 350.
[74] The background of this is Etruscan law, the primitive form of the
Roman. Rome was an Etruscan city.
[75] Busolt, _Griechische Staatskunde_, p. 528.
[76] Compare the famous ironical judgment of Mr. Justice Maule which
led to the reform of the divorce laws in England (1857): “... It is
true that the course which you should legally have taken would have
cost you many hundreds of pounds, whereas probably you have not as many
pence. _But the Law knows no distinction between rich and poor._”--_Tr._
[77] What is important to us, therefore, in the Law of the Twelve
Tables is not the supposed contents (of which scarcely an authentic
clause survived even in Cicero’s day), but the political act of
codification itself, the tendency of which corresponded to that of
the overthrow of the Tarquinian Tyrannis by senatorial Oligarchy--a
success which, now endangered, it was sought to stabilize for the
future. The text which schoolboys learned in detail in Cæsar’s time
must have had the same destiny as the consular lists of the old time,
in which had been interpolated names upon names of families whose
wealth and influence was of much later origin. In recent years Pais
and Lambert have disputed the whole story of the Twelve Tables, and so
far as concerns the authenticity of the reputed text, they may well be
right--not so, however, as regards the course of political events in
the years about 450.
[78] Only half a century separates the traditional dates of these
events (509, 451), in spite of the wealth of traditional history
afterwards attached to the period. The “coup,” in the case of the
Decemvirs, was the capture by the patricians of a machine set up for
the redress of plebeian grievances.--_Tr._

[85] Egyptian law of the Hyksos period, and Chinese of the Period of
Contending States, in contrast to the Classical and the Indian law of
the Dharmasutras, must have been built up on basic ideas quite other
than the idea of the corporeality of persons and things. It would be
a grand emancipation from the load of Roman “antiquities” if German
research were to succeed in establishing these.

[89] See Ch. VII below. We can venture to make the label so positive
because the adherents of all the Late Classical cults were bound
together in devout consensus, just as the primitive Christian
communities were.
[90] The Persian Church came into the Classical field only in the
Classical form of Mithraism, which was assimilable in the ensemble of
Syncretism.
[91] It is difficult to describe this class in a few words. Roughly,
they (and the “Junian Latins,” so called, who were excepted with
them) represented a stratum of Roman society, largely composed
of “undesirables,” which was only just not servile. In the older
legislation they were necessarily lumped with the outer world as
peregrins, but when Caracalla made this outer world “Roman,” there were
obvious reasons against bringing these people into the fold as well. In
somewhat the same way the word “outsider” is used in colloquial English
with the dual meaning of a foreigner or non-member, and a socially
undesirable person.--_Tr._
[92] In the Twelve Tables _connubium_ was disallowed even between
the patrician and plebian citizens of Rome itself. [The hold of
the patricians on this privilege, however, was already exceedingly
precarious, and it vanished a few years later in the _lex
Canuleia_.--_Tr._]

[95] Here, as in every line of the history of the “Pseudomorphosis,” we
are reminded of Christ’s parable of new wine and old bottles (Matt. ix,
17), an expression not of mere abstract shrewdness, as it seems to us
now, but of intense living force and even passion. It is only one short
verse, not obligatory in its context, but leaping out of depths.--_Tr._
[96] As long ago as 1891 Mitteis (_Reichsrecht und Volksrecht_, p.
13) drew attention to the Oriental vein in Constantine’s legislation.
Collinet (_Études historiques sur le droit de Justinien I_, 1912),
chiefly on the basis of German researches, throws an immense amount
back on Hellenistic law; but how much, after all, of this “Hellenistic”
was really Greek and not merely written in Greek? The results of
interpolation-research have proved truly devastating for the “Classical
spirit” in Justinian’s Digests.

[103] Hence the fictitious names of authors on innumerable books
in every Arabian literature--Dionysius the Areopagite, Pythagoras,
Hermes Trismegistus, Hippocrates, Enoch, Baruch, Daniel, Solomon, the
Apostle-names attached to the numerous gospels and apocalypses.
[104] For example, Hebrew was supplanted by Aramaic for all ordinary
purposes as early as the Maccabees--and to such an extent that in the
synagogues the Scriptures had to be translated for the people--but has
held its ground as a religious vehicle, and above all as a script,
even to this day. (The present use of a _spoken_ Hebrew represents a
revival in more recent times, after the wider dispersion of the early
Middle Ages had broken the connexion with the Aramaic lands.) In the
Persian field the older Zend survived alongside the newer Pehlevi. In
Egypt somewhat similar influences were contemporaneously determining
the evolution of popular Demotic and official Greek into the Coptic
language with Greek characters.--_Tr._

fifty for England and Wales. Scots law is independent of English and
has its own jurisprudence.--_Tr._

[140] The English parallel is Winchester.--_Tr._
[141] The phenomenon is perhaps too well known in our days to need
exemplification. But it is worth while recalling that the usual form of
disgrace for a minister or courtier of the seventeenth or eighteenth
century was to be commanded to “retire to his estates,” and that a
student expelled from the universities is said to be “rusticated.”
Since this volume was written, a remarkable proof of the reality of
this spiritual indrawing by the Megalopolis has been given by the
swift spread of radio broadcasting over the West-European and American
world. For the country-dweller, radio reception means intimate touch
with the news, the thought, and the entertainment of the great city,
and relieves the _grievance_ of “isolation” that the older country-folk
would never have felt as a grievance at all.--_Tr._
[142] In the case of the Venetians the money-outlook was already
potent during the earlier Crusades. But the fact that their financial
exploitation of the great religious adventure was regarded as
scandalous indicates sufficiently that the rural world of the West was
not yet face to face with the money-idea.--_Tr._
[143] See Ch. XIII below.
[144] Samarra exhibits, like the Imperial Fora of Rome and the ruins
of Luxor, truly American proportions. The city stretches for 33
km. [20 miles] along the Tigris. The Balkuwara Palace, which the
Caliph Mutawakil built for one of his sons, forms a square of 1250
m. [say, three-quarters of a mile] on each side. One of the giant
mosques measures in plan 260 × 180 m. [858 × 594 ft.]. Schwarz, _Die
Abbasidenresidenz Samarra_ (1910); Herzfeld, _Ausgrabungen von Samarra_
(1912). [Pataliputra, in the days of Chandragupta and Asoka, measured
_intra muros_ 10 miles × 2 miles (equal to Manhattan Island or London
along the Thames from Greenwich to Richmond).--_Tr._]
[145] Karlsruhe, with its fan-scheme, and Mannheim, with its
rectangles, are earlier than Washington. But both are small places.
The one is a sort of extension of the prince’s Rococo park and centred
on his _point de vue_; the other, though its block-numbering, unique
in Europe, seems to relate it to the American city, was really planned
as a self-contained military capital, rectangular only within its oval
enceinte, whereas the American rectangles are meant to be added to. The
layout of Petersburg by Peter the Great (which has been adhered to to
this day and is still incompletely filled in in detail) is a much more
forcible example of the arbitrary planning of a megalopolis. Though
outside the “European” world, it is of it, for it was the visible
symbol of Peter’s will to force Europe upon Russia. It is contemporary
with Mannheim and Karlsruhe (early eighteenth century), but its creator
conceived of it as a city _of the future_.--_Tr._
[146] In the case of Canada, not merely great regions, but the
_whole country_ has been picketed out in equal rectangles for future
development.--_Tr._
[147] It has been left to the _Western_ Civilization of present-day
Rome to build the garden suburbs that the Classical Civilization could
have built.--_Tr._
[148] Friedländer, _Sittengeschichte Roms_, I, p. 5. Compare this with
Samarra, which had nothing like this population. The “Late Classical
city on Arabian soil was un-Classical in this respect as in others. The
garden suburb of Antioch was renowned throughout the East.”
[149] The city which the Egyptian “Julian the Apostate,” Amenophis IV
(Akhenaton) built himself in Tell-el-Amarna had streets up to 45 m.

[159] The Colosseum of Rome itself in due course fell into this decay
and we read in the guide-books that “its flora were once famous”--420
wild species lived in its ruins. If this could happen in Rome, we need
not be surprised at the quick, almost catastrophic, conquest of the
Maya cities by tropical vegetation.--_Tr._

[161] Henceforward, and indeed throughout this work, the word
“language” is not to be regarded as limited to spoken and written
language. As the above definition indicates, it includes all modes of
intelligible conscious-expression--“affective language” in the widest
sense.--_Tr._
[162] Obviously, Totemistic facts, so far as they come under the
observation of the waking-consciousness, obtain a significance of the
Taboo kind also; much in man’s sexual life, for example, is performed
with a profound sense of fear, because his will-to-understand is
baffled by it.
[163] W. von Humboldt (_Über die Verschiedenheit des menschlichen
Sprachbaues_) was the first to emphasize the fact that a language is
not a thing, but an activity. “If we would be quite precise, we can
certainly say _there is no such thing as ‘language,’_ just as there
is no such thing as ‘intellect’; but man does speak, and does act
intellectually.”
