This volume explores the relationship between demons, illness and treatment comparatively. Its twenty chapters range from Mesopotamia and ancient Egypt to early modern Europe, and include studies of Judaism, Christianity and Islam. They discuss the relationship between ?demonic? illnesses and wider ideas about illness, medicine, magic, and the supernatural. A further theme of the volume is the value of treating a wide variety of periods and places, using a comparative approach, and this is highlighted particularly in the volume?s Introduction and Afterword. The chapters originated in an international conference held in 2013. 410 0$aMagical and religious literature of late antiquity ;$vVolume 5. 606 $aDemonology$xHistory 606 $aMedicine, Magic, mystic, and spagiric 615 0$aDemonology$xHistory. 615 0$aMedicine, Magic, mystic, and spagiric. 676 $a202.16 702 $aBhayro$b Siam 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910792536603321 996 $aDemons and illness from antiquity to the early-modern period$93778447 997 $aUNINA
