"An impressive and important crosscultural study that has vast implications for history, religion, anthropology, folklore, and other fields. . . . Remarkably wideranging and extremely welldocumented, it covers (among much else) the following: medieval Christian legends such as the 14thcentury Ethiopian Gadla Hawaryat (Contendings of the Apostles) that had their roots in Parthian Gnosticism and Manichaeism; dogstars (especially Sirius), dogdays, and canine psychopomps in the ancient and Hellenistic world; the cynocephalic hordes of the ancient geographers; the legend of Prester John; Visvamitra and the Svapacas ("DogCookers"); the Dog Rong ("warlike barbarians") during the Xia, Shang, and Zhou periods; the nochoy ghajar (Mongolian for "Dog Country") of the Khitans; the Panju myth of the Southern Man and Yao "barbarians" from chapter 116 of the History of the Latter Han and variants in a series of later texts; and the importance of dogs in ancient Chinese burial rites. . . . Extremely wellresearched and highly significant."Victor H. Mair, Asian Folklore Studies
