BIBLIOGRAPHY

For the documents illustrating ancient theriophily, see
A. O. Lovejoy and G. Boas, Primitivism and Related Ideas
in Antiquity
(Baltimore, 1935), Chs. 4 and 13; for Mon-
taigne, his predecessors, and disciples, see G. Boas, The
Happy Beast
(Baltimore, 1933); for the eighteenth century,
see Hester Hastings, Man and Beast in French Thought of
the Eighteenth Century
(Baltimore, London, and Paris,
1936), which contains a detailed bibliography. For a criti-
cism of the writer's views on the Gryllus and on Gelli's
Circe, see Merritt Hughes, “Spenser's Acrasia and the Circe
of the Renaissance,” Journal of the History of Ideas, 4 (Oct.
1943). For one of the most fertile sources of theriophilist
ideas in the eighteenth century, see Pierre Bayle, Diction-
naire historique
(1697), the article on Rorarius, especially
remarks C, E, F, G, H; see also the article on Barbe, remark
C. A modern edition of Circe is Giovanni B. Gelli, Circe,
ed. Robert M. Adams, trans. Thomas Brown (Ithaca, 1963).
