Book Description:
This collection of 12 articles presents a selection of papers delivered in the course of a seminar 1994 95 and its concluding international symposium at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton. The common theme is the interrelation between magic and religion, focusing particularly on the Mediterranean world in Antiquity Egyptian, Graeco Roman and Jewish beliefs and customs but also treating the early modern period in northern Europe (the Netherlands and Germany) as well as offering more general reflections on elements of magic in language and Jewish mysticism. The volume is characterized by an interdisciplinary approach and the use of varied methodologies, emphasizing the dynamic nature of the often contradictory forces shaping religious beliefs and practices, while dismissing the idea of a linear development from magic to religion or vice versa.
