Magic Spells and Formulae: Aramaic Incantations of Late Antiquity
Description:
Since the publication of "Amulets and Magic Bowls: Aramaic Incantations of Late Antiquity," in 1985, several additional magic texts came to the attention of the authors. This volume comprises a new collection of seventeen Palestinian metal amulets, accompanied by 14 Babylonian incantations on earthenware bowls, and 21 magic texts from the Cairo Geniza. As in "Amulets and Magic Bowls," all texts are presented with translations, commentaries and photographs. The amulets are also reproduced in facsimile drawings. The book contains an introduction which deals with the relationship between liturgy and magic, as well as between medicine and magic. There is also a glossary and detailed indices. The study of these incantations provides an insight into the rich religious life and practices of common people in the Talmudic period and adds greatly to our knowledge of Palestinian and Babylonian Aramaic usage.
