The article traces some sources of Edgar Allan Poe’s “Pinakidia” and “Supplementary Pinakidia” that hitherto escaped the notice of Poe’s scholars. Among these sources is Thomas Stackhouse’s New History of the Bible, whence Poe drew some fifteen items, as well as various information on sacred history and the ancient world that he also used in writing his tales (esp. “A Decided Loss” / “Loss of Breath” and “Epimanes” / “Four Beasts in One”).

Abstract
The article traces some sources of Edgar Allan Poe’s “Pinakidia” and “Supplementary Pinakidia” that hitherto escaped the notice of Poe’s scholars. Among these sources is Thomas Stackhouse’s New History of the Bible, whence Poe drew some fifteen items, as well as various information on sacred history and the ancient world that he also used in writing his tales (esp. “A Decided Loss” / “Loss of Breath” and “Epimanes” / “Four Beasts in One”).File in questo prodotto:
