The Routledge History of Medieval Magic brings together the work of
scholars from across Europe and North America to provide extensive
insights into recent developments in the study of medieval magic
between c.1100 and c.1500. This book covers a wide range of topics,
including the magical texts which circulated in medieval Europe,
the attitudes of intellectuals and churchmen to magic, the ways in
which magic intersected with other aspects of medieval culture, and
the early witch trials of the fifteenth century. In doing so, it
offers the reader a detailed look at the impact that magic had
within medieval society, such as its relationship to gender roles,
natural philosophy, and courtly culture. This is furthered by the
book's interdisciplinary approach, containing chapters dedicated to
archaeology, literature, music, and visual culture, as well as
texts and manuscripts. The Routledge History of Medieval Magic also
outlines how research on this subject could develop in the future,
highlighting under-explored subjects, unpublished sources, and new
approaches to the topic. It is the ideal book for both established
scholars and students of medieval magic.
