Many of you will have already seen this page, but I just stumbled across and thought I'd post a link to it for those who don't know about it. It's a very detailed page giving information about allusions and references Lewis makes in THS. Good stuff here:

If you look on the title page of your copy, you'll see that the source of the title is provided by Lewis. It's from Ane Dialog betwix Experience and ane Courteour, by David Lindsay. (Not the David Lindsay that wrote Voyage to Arcturus, but the one who served in the court of King James V of Scotland in the early 1500s.)
