Since 1933, the Eranos Conferences have been held in Ascona in Southern Switzerland. Distinguished scholars from Europe, Asia, and America have been invited to a "shared feast" (eranos) and have lectured on themes chosen by the Director of Eranos, the late Olga Froebe-Kapteyn. The lectures originally appeared in the Eranos-Jahrbucher (Zurich) and selections translated into English have been published in Papers from the Eranos Yearbooks, of which this is the second volume. Thirteen scholars - including C.G. Jung, C. Kerenyi, Walter F. Otto, and Hugo Rahner - are represented in this collection, which is drawn from the years 1936, 1939, 1940-41, 1942, and 1944. The volume is edited by Joseph Campbell and translated by Ralph Manheim and R.F.C. Hull.
