This book presents twenty chapters by experts in their fields,
providing a thorough and interdisciplinary overview of the theory
and practice of magic in the West. Its chronological scope extends
from the Ancient Near East to twenty-first-century North America;
its objects of analysis range from Persian curse tablets to US
neo-paganism. For comparative purposes, the volume includes
chapters on developments in the Jewish and Muslim worlds, evaluated
not simply for what they contributed at various points to European
notions of magic, but also as models of alternative development in
ancient Mediterranean legacy. Similarly, the volume highlights the
transformative and challenging encounters of Europeans with
non-Europeans, regarding the practice of magic in both early modern
colonization and more recent decolonization.
