This volume contains a series of provocative essays that explore
expressions of magic and ritual power in the ancient world. The
strength of the present volume lies in the breadth of scholarly
approaches represented. The book begins with several papyrological
studies presenting important new texts in Greek and Coptic,
continuing with essays focussing on taxonomy and definition. The
concluding essays apply contemporary theories to analyses of
specific test cases in a broad variety of ancient Mediterranean
cultures. Paul Mirecki, Th.D. (1986) in Religious Studies, Harvard
Divinity School, is Associate Professor of Religious Studies at the
University of Kansas. Marvin Meyer, Ph.D. (1979) in Religion,
Claremont Graduate School, is Professor of Religion at Chapman
University, Orange, California, and Director of the Coptic Magical
Texts Project of the Institute for Antiquity and Christianity.
