| Summary | "Letture sopra la mitologia vedica" by Angelo De Gubernatis is a scholarly work written in the late 19th century. The text delves into the complexities of Vedic mythology, aiming to illuminate the significant myths and deities while exploring their implications on human understanding of the divine. It serves as a foundational text for those interested in comparative mythology and the historical evolution of ancient beliefs. The opening of the work introduces the author's admiration for the notable scholar Ernesto Renan and reflects on his own journey to understanding comparative philology and mythology. De Gubernatis recounts his early struggles with the subject, his eventual fascination with the origins of the Italian language, and how this curiosity led him to explore Eastern texts, particularly those of the Indian tradition, which ultimately shaped his scholarly pursuits. He sets the stage for a discussion of Vedic myths, discussing their development from physical representations to deeper metaphysical concepts, indicating the book will navigate through various layers of meaning within Vedic texts.
