The present book is a compilation of studies on narratives of
mythical origins in different cultures written by outstanding
specialists. It aims to provide a broad view on creation-myths from
different times and areas of the world with a particular focus on
how these texts contributed to the conception of the past as
"universal history", as a common origin of mankind or as the great
opening, the theatrum mundi. On the other hand, the purpose of this
book is to study the phenomenon from a typological point of view,
analyzing the specific characteristics of this particular type of
texts, rather than finding influences between the different
cultures in the genesis of these narratives.
