Chips from a German Workshop by Max Muller

Publication: 1895 Charles Scribners Sons

Complete Set of Chips from a German Workshop, by F. Max Mller, is a collection of essays on the science of religion written in the mid-19th century. Mller is best remembered for directing the preparation of The Sacred Books of the East, a 50-volume set that continued after his death. Chips from a German Workshop attracted the attention of notable figures such as Charles Godfrey Leland and Theosophist H.P. Blavatsky, who emphasized the importance of pagan traditions over Christianity. Designer Mary Fraser Tytler referred to Mllers collection of essays as her Bible, which inspired her multi-cultural sacred imagery. The work provides an in-depth analysis of various religious systems and their interconnections, pointing toward a cross-cultural understanding of human spirituality.
