Hug published on the Synoptic Gospels. He further wrote on the origin of alphabetical writing (Die Erfindung der Buch-stabenschrift, 1801), on the antiquity of the Codex Vaticanus (1810), and on ancient mythology (Untersuchungen über den Mythos der alten Völker, 1812); a new interpretation of the Song of Solomon (Des hohe Lied in einer noch unversuchten Deutung, 1813), on the Alexandrian version of the Pentateuch (1818). Works of him were translated into English and French. (Source Wikipedia) Hug's 'Untersuchungen über den Mythos der alten Völker' examines the Egyptian origin of Greek mythology. We mention titles of some chapters: 'Verbreitung der ägyptischen Götterlehre nach Phönikien, und von daher nach Griechenland', or 'Persephone, Hekate, und Astarte oder Kypria, Juno', or 'Titanenkämpfe, Typhon, Pan, Asklepios, 'Die musikalische Götter', or 'Die Götter zu Schiffe') (Photographs on request)

Les travaux du théologien catholique Johann Leonhard Hug (1765-1846) ne sont pas d'ordre archéologique, mais apologétique : il s'agissait de démontrer la correspondance entre l'histoire "biblique" et les découvertes qui se multipliaient sur les peuples anciens. Ici, il examine, toujours dans cette perspective concordiste avant la lettre, les origines des mythologies antiques. - - VENTE PAR CORRESPONDANCE UNIQUEMENT
