GilesToronto : University of Toronto Press, [2017]©20171 online resource (325 pages) illustrationsToronto Iberic1-4426-4607-1 Includes bibliographical references and index.Amuletic manuscripts -- Naming God -- Amuletic voices -- The Bawd's amulet -- Outlaw prayers -- Amuletic afterlives."In Inscribed Power, Ryan D. Giles explores the function of amuletic prayers, divine names, and incantation formulas that were inscribed and printed on parchment, paper and other media, and at the same time inserted into classic literary works in Spain. Giles' insightful analysis of the intersection between amulets and literary texts offers fresh and original interpretations of well-known texts such as the Poema de mío Cid, the Libro de Alexandre, Canitgas de Santa Maria, the Libro de buen amor, Celestina, Lazarillo de Tormes, and the Buscón. Inscribed Power is a fascinating work that highlights specific amuletic texts that were used to heal, protect, or otherwise provide a blessing or curse to discover how their powers could influence fictional lives at different moments in the development of Spanish literature."--Provided by publisherSpanish literatureTo 1500History and criticismMagic in literatureSpanish literatureSpanish literatureHistory and criticism.Magic in literature.Spanish literature.860.9/001cci1icclacccoll13laccGiles Ryan D. , 522775DE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK9910816052603321Inscribed Power4093297UNINA
