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. 410 0$aIJS Studies in Judaica ;$v4. 517 3 $aEssays on the Practice of Magic in Antiquity 606 $aJewish magic$vCongresses 606 $aMagic in rabbinical literature$vCongresses 606 $aMagic, Ancient$vCongresses 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aJewish magic 615 0$aMagic in rabbinical literature 615 0$aMagic, Ancient 676 $a133.4/3/089924 702 $aShaked$b Shaul 801 0$bNL-LeKB 801 1$bNL-LeKB 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910451442803321 996 $aOfficina magica$91093563 997 $aUNINA
