"The Greek magical papyri" is a collection of magical spells and
formulas, hymns, and rituals from Greco-Roman Egypt, dating from
the second century B.C. to the fifth century A.D. Containing a
fresh translation of the Greek papyri, as well as Coptic and
Demotic texts, this new translation has been brought up to date and
is now the most comprehensive collection of this literature, and
the first ever in English.
"The Greek Magical Papyri in Transition" is an invaluable resource
for scholars in a wide variety of fields, from the history of
religions to the classical languages and literatures, and it will
fascinate those with a general interest in the occult and the
history of magic.
"One of the major achievements of classical and related scholarship
over the last decade."--Ioan P. Culianu, "Journal for the Study of
Judaism"
"The enormous value of this new volume lies in the fact that these
texts will now be available to a much wider audience of readers,
including historians or religion, anthropologists, and
psychologists."--John G. Gager, "Journal of Religion"
"[This book] shows care, skill and zest. . . . Any worker in the
field will welcome this sterling performance."--Peter Parsons,
"Times Literary Supplement"
