A propos this topic please permit me to quote from a review I published long years ago on a volume of the collected papers of John Brough (IIJ 42: 188-196):

Despite the astonishingly broad range of his interests and competence, Brough was not a comparativist, at least in the sense that that term is frequently used today. In fact, he rather energetically, and sometimes even rather sarcastically, critiqued a certain type of comparativism, especially in his comments on Dumezil’s ideas on the “Tripartite Ideology of the IndoEuropeans.” Having, for example, offered an elaborate complex of evidence which reduces to ashes Dumezil’s claim that the “Tripartite Ideology” is exclusively IndoEuropean, and nonBiblical, Brough wrote (p. 199): “We can, of course, dismiss the whole thing [that is, Brough’s demonstration of the same patterns in Biblical myth] as a mere burlesque, a caricature of Professor Dumezil’s methods: though I protest that I have tried not to caricature, and have done my best to deal with the material in the same manner as he has dealt with the IndoEuropean material. The reader is free to judge whether or not my treatment is a burlesque.” Despite the putative freedom Brough has given his reader, he ends his study with these words: “The experiment [carried out in the paper] also suggests that the IndoEuropean ‘tripartite ideology’ could be due very largely to bias in the selection of data combined with ‘la nature des choses’. If it does not prove this with the certainty of a mathematical demonstration, it does at least prove that, up to the present, no very strong reason has been given for thinking otherwise.”

Dear All,

Does anyone have a PDF of George Dumézil's "L'Idéologie Tripartie des Indo-Européens"?  An english translation (if it exists) would be perfect, but even a copy in French would be appreciated.  I just can't seem to find it anywhere.

Thank you,
