Deady Sins
Mary Jo Pauly 1993 case bound binding 9 1/4 x 4 1/4 in The case bound book is comprised of seven demonic representations (drawn from myth, traditional symbolism and literature) of the base evils, with some accompanying text. Pages are split so diverse original indiscretions may be promulgated, such as a combinations of SLOTH and GLUTTONY (SLUTTONY). SLOTH and WRATH (SLATH), etc. -- the premise being who is guilty of but one cardinal sin? It may be considered a wry, somewhat humorous reaction to religious tradition and arcane. | ||||
