L'opera - strutturata in due sezioni distinte (la prima di testo, la seconda di illustrazioni) - prende in esame tutte le edizioni della Bibbia pubblicate in Europa nel XVI e XVII secolo e tradotte in lingua italiana. Essa si presenta come il primo scandaglio sistematico all'interno di una produzione che interessa sia il campo strettamente bibliografico, sia quello letterario, storico-religioso e artistico. Ricchi gli apparati iconografici che illustrano le diverse edizioni.

Nonostante gli importanti contributi dati da studiosi italiani, la maggior parte dei manuali di etnologia diffusi nelle nostre università sono traduzioni di opere straniere, nordamericane in particolare. Gli autori di questo volume si sono preoccupati di presentare i principali temi e problemi della disciplina, coniugando la chiarezza espositiva e il rigore della trattazione e riferendosi criticamente ai più recenti indirizzi interpretativi del pensiero antropologico. Il manuale si divide in capitoli nei quali i diversi specialisti hanno trattato - mantenendo sempre il contatto con il quadro teorico - la collocazione e il senso dell'etnologia all'interno delle scienze sociali, i processi della cultura, i modelli societari, l'ordine politico, la sfera del rituale, religione e magia, l'interpretazione tra uomo e ambiente.
