In Misbelief, preeminent...

Before the dawn of history, mankind was engaged in the study of dreaming. The wise man among the ancients was preeminently the interpreter of dreams.

When a scholar laboriously translates a cuneiform tablet dug up from a Babylonian mound, where...

When psychoanalytic investigation, which usually contents itself with frail human material, approaches the great personages of humanity, it is not impelled to it by motives which are often attributed to it by laymen.
