1865 F. M. Müller Sel. Ess. (1881) II. 137 This surely is not what is commonly understood by polytheism. Yet it would be equally wrong to call it Monotheism. If we must have a name for it I should call it Kathenotheism, or simply Henotheism—i.e. a belief in single gods.
1871 E. B. Tylor Primitive Culture II. 321.
