Description: Tübingen, Germany, Gunter Narr Verlag, 1981. Paperback. 8vo. Stiff printed wrappers. 176pp. 15pp "Regulations" booklet in English/French in rear wrapper sleeve. Very good. Outer wrappers (only) a bit worn and soiled, else tight and internally fine. Full issue of this scholarly journal in English and French. Contributor Ioan Petru Culianu's copy, containing his article "The Sun and the Moon" (pp. 83-97). Ioan Petru Culianu (or Couliano, 1950-91) was a controversial Romanian philosopher, essayist and historian of ideas, religion and culture; on May 21, 1991, he was murdered -- some say assassinated -- in a bathroom at the University of Chicago's Divinity School, likely because he proved a vocal critic of Romania's Communist post-Revolution regime in interviews and articles. Quite unusual. .
