[695] For the fish-symbol in Judaism there is a good collection of facts in I. Scheftelowitz, “Das Fisch-Symbol in Judentum und Christentum,” in the _Archiv. für Religionswissenschaft_ (1911), XIV. 1-53, 321-392. [696] Pitra, _op. cit._, has several plates bearing on this. Of the coloured, pl. 1 shows an eucharistic table with a _fish_ and bread upon it, and at each side seven baskets full of the latter, while in pl. 3 a fish swims bearing on his head a basket with sacred loaves, both illustrative of the miracle. See also pp. 565-6. [697] Keller, _op. cit._, p. 352. The latest and best monograph on the fish-symbol in Christianity is that of F. J. Dölger, _Das Fisch-symbol in frühchristlicher Zeit_ (Freiburg, 1910), whose conclusions are summarised in the _Archiv für Religionswissenschaft_ (1912), XV. 297 f. [698] Cf. the many fascinating works of Dr. J. Rendel Harris, _e.g._ _The Cult of the Heavenly Twins_ and _Boanerges_. Also Lowrie, _Art and Archæology_; and Miss M. Hamilton, _Greek Saints and their Festivals_. [699] See C. Cahier, _Caractéristiques des Saints dans l’art populaire_ (Paris, 1867), Vol. II. 691 ff., for illustrations of Saints accompanied by fishes. [700] _Op. cit._, II. 340. “The _gemini pisces_, the two fishes joined in one, were sacred to her, and the joke of the _poisson d’Avril_ ... is a jest of phallical origin, and has a scandalous significance.” [701] P. Robinson, _International Fisheries Exhibition_ (London, 1883), Part III. p. 43. “The representations of the Virgin in a canopy or _vesica piscis_ are supposed to have a specially Christian significance: if they have any at all, it is a very heathenish one.” [702] _Mundus Symbolicus_, a rare folio, of which two editions, 1681 and 1694, exist, is a translation of _Il Mondo Simbolico_ (written by Picinelli Filippi, and published at Milan 1653, 1669, and 1680), made by Aug. Erath. Cf. _Trésor des livres rares et précieux_, tom. v. (Dresde, 1859-69), p. 282. The Bodleian possesses only the 1694 edition of _Mundus Symbolicus_, while apparently the British Museum lacks both. [703] The bronze statuette found at Hartsbourg showing the Germanic god Chrodo, standing on a fish, while holding in his uplifted left hand a wheel, and in his lowered right a basket of fruit and vegetables, is not at all on all fours. Cf. Montfaucon, _Antiquity Explained_, trans. D. Humphreys (London, 1921), II. 261, pl. 56, 3. [704] The construction of ‘Rosa, Piscis’ is not discernible. Perhaps (‘Rosa Piscis’) would be less obscure. [705] To Galen alone 149 works are attributed.
