This international and interdisciplinary volume investigates
Protestant devotional identities in sixteenth- and
seventeenth-century England. Divided into two sections, the book
examines the 'sites' where these identities were forged - the
academy, printing house, household, theatre and prison - and the
'types' of texts that expressed them - spiritual autobiographies,
religious poetry and writings tied to the ars moriendi - providing
a broad analysis of social, material and literary forms of devotion
during England's Long Reformation. Through archival and
cutting-edge research, a detailed picture of 'lived religion'
emerges, which re-evaluates the pietistic acts and attitudes of
well-known and recently discovered figures. To those studying and
teaching religion and identity in early modern England, and anyone
interested in the history of religious self-expression, these
chapters offer a rich and rewarding read. -- .
I would like to extend my thanks to Dr. M.l Raven, the curator of
the Egyptian Department of the Rijksmuseum van Oudheden in Leiden,
who granted permission to publish the photographs of J 384 and 395
and allowed me to inspect the originals, as weIl as to the museum's
photographers, M.J. Bomhof and A. De Kemp, for providing the
prints. My gratitude also goes to the Deutsche
Forschungsgemeinschaft for supporting this project, and to the
Rheinisch-Westfalische Akademie der Wissenschaften for including
this volume in the present series and for a subsidy towards the
cost of its publication. Finally I would like to thank R.
Merkelbach for his help in connection with this project. Robert W.
Daniel INTRODUCTION The papyri J 384 (previously V) and J 395
(previously W) of the National Museum of Antiquities in Leiden are
now usually consulted in K. Preisendanz' standard edition, 2 Papyri
Graecae Magicae (Stuttgart 1974 ), and referred to as PGM XII and
XIII respective1y. These two large papyri are among the most
important magical texts that have survived from late antiquity -
especially J 395 with its famous 'Leiden Cosmogony'.
