The author's aim is not to give a general picture of the mystic tendencies which prevailed in Italy in the ancient times - such a task cannot yet be performed adequately, since our information for some parts of Italy and for some periods is very scanty, for other times and places totally wanting.

Contents: Mystic Italy; Mystic Pompeii; Mystic Rome; Notes. Illustrated.
