While some of its contributors address problems of methodology of research into magic and the definition of magic, others deal with specific historical and textual issues. Although a major focus is on Jewish texts ranging from antiquity to the medieval period, the book also includes studies of several magical texts from ancient Mesopotamia and their impact on later magical practice, and studies of Greek and Zoroastrian texts and artifacts. The approaches thus range from the examination of textual or visual sources to theoretical issues such as the history of research and the definition of magic.IJS Studies in Judaica ;4.Essays on the Practice of Magic in AntiquityJewish magicCongressesMagic in rabbinical literatureCongressesMagic, AncientCongressesElectronic books.Jewish magicMagic in rabbinical literatureMagic, Ancient133.4/3/089924Shaked ShaulNL-LeKBNL-LeKBBOOK9910451442803321Officina magica1093563UNINA03888nam 2200697Ia 450 991095659220332120251117095957.0978128395021312839502199780300143706030014370210.12987/9780300143706(CKB)2670000000330644(EBL)3421111(SSID)ssj0000804514(PQKBManifestationID)11457994(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000804514(PQKBWorkID)10833785(PQKB)10953402(DE-B1597)485033(OCoLC)1024033734(DE-B1597)9780300143706(Au-PeEL)EBL3421111(CaPaEBR)ebr10645466(CaONFJC)MIL426271(OCoLC)923601962(MiAaPQ)EBC3421111(Perlego)1161373(OCoLC)1024033734(EXLCZ)99267000000033064420000103d2000 uy 0engurnn#---|u|||txtccrThe burdens of Sister Margaret inside a seventeenth-century convent /Craig HarlineAbridged ed., Rev. and abridged ed.New Haven Yale University Press20001 online resource (288 p.)"Yale Nota bene."9780300081206 0300081200 9780300081213 0300081219 Includes bibliographical references (p. 225-257) and index.Front matter --CONTENTS --TO THE CURIOUS READER --A NOTE ON USAGE --DRAMATIS PERSONAE --Prologue: Remembering --1.

Finis --Epilogue --BIBLIOGRAPHICAL NOTES --ACKNOWLEDGMENTS --INDEXBased on a treasure trove of letters, this fascinating book tells the history of a seventeenth-century nun in a convent in Leuven and how her complaints-of sexual harassment, fears of demonic possession, alliances among the other sisters against her-led to her banishment from the convent on two occasions. Highly acclaimed when it was first published as a revealing look at female religious life in early modern Europe, the book is now available in an abridged paperbound version with a new preface by the author.

The story of Sister Margaret gives an extra dimension of humanity to a turning point in the history of ideas."-Sonia Gernes, Wall Street Journal "Better-than-fiction social history. . . . This is a glimpse into diaries, letters, hearts, minds, hatreds, and hopes; it will enthrall."-Christian Century "Harline's graceful writing allows the women and men in this religious community to breathe, gossip, pray with tears. . . .
