Anon, I think you would have a better chance if you just google your question.

Have you tried using Google these days? It's shit. All it links to are ads and AI written spam blogs.

Protip: you can use Google lens to translate most screenshots.

Exactly. Google catches such a wide net that it's impossible to find exactly what your looking for. Asking /lit/ for recommendations just cuts out the middle man that is google entirely if you're looking for something specific. Like an anthology book of texts from a specific mythology.

Sorry to repost in an only tangentially-related thread, but the sffg thread is useless:
I come to you with a humble request. I'm looking for a scholarly sort of monster manual. I want a kind of bestiary or encyclopedia of mythical and fantasy creatures from folklore around the world. From the house goblins and dragons of Europe to the ghouls of the middle east and on to the xiangshi of china, a general grab bag of the anthropologically significant fantasy creatures, the major players in important myths and folklore. I emphasize that I'd like it to be scholarly, the kind of book that will be fun to thumb through but also might have been assigned in a humanities class in a previous era when college professors were not green-haired angry people with a chip on their shoulder and a dubious point to prove. Nor would I like it to be obviously targeted at children, thus shying from the more mature and socially uncomfortable implications of certain creatures. Illustrations would be nice, but are optional. Is there a consensus on one great book to fulfill this need? Please and thank you very much, /lit/, for your help.
>inb4 triggered discord creatures shit up this thread, too (my sincerest apologies to OP if so)

OP here. I unfortunately don't have an answer to your question, but I hope you find an answer to your question regarding a more scholarly monster manual. Whether it be through this thread or somewhere else, I don't know. But good luck anyways.

After all, I'm hoping that the anon who claimed to have a detailed response in the previous thread sees this one and responds here. It was unfortunate that the previous thread died before that master list of Pre-Columbian Mythological book recommendations could be posted. But shit happens in life.

Try "The Mythical Creatures Bible" by Brenda Rosen

Not the anon who asked for the bestiary of mythical creatures but thanks for the book recommendation anyways. I on the other hand am mainly looking for English translations of Aztec, Mayan and Inca Mythology. Do you happen to have any recommendations of that nature?

I wish we knew more about pre-Columbian America. There's not a lot of books on it. The only popular one I know of is 1491.

You've probably already read Broken Spears by Miguel-Leon Portilla.

Oh, yeah. I also recommend Breaking the Maya Code by Micheal D Coe. It's not so much about the history of the Maya, but a story about the people who study them. For whatever reason, the Maya attract the biggest weirdos in academia.

Thanks for this recommendation. Greatly appreciate it.

>>21778121
I wish we did too. But thank you for providing me a recommendation anyways.

>>21778317
I have not. Thank you for providing me with this recommendation anyways.

>>21778330
Thanks for the recommendation. Though I do wonder. Why do some people use "Maya" as a plural instead of "Mayan"? Does that have something to do with the field attracting the weirdos in academia?
