Despite significant progress in more recent scholarship in respect of the culture, its magical practices and their associated literatures remain on the margins of the scholarly imagination. This volume aims to open a discussion on the history of the field, to evaluate how things have progressed, and to suggest a fruitful way forward. In doing so, this volume demonstrates the incredible riches contained within the Syriac magical traditions, and the necessity of their study"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Magic $z Syria. 700 1 $a Moriggi, Marco, $e editor. 700 1 $a Bhayro, Siam, $e editor. 776 08 $i Online version: $t Studies in the syriac magical traditions $d Leiden ; Boston : Brill, 2021 $z 9789004467200 $w (DLC) 2021037996 830 0 $a Magical and religious literature of late antiquity ; $v v. 9. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20230302020402.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=59DD2DBEB4A811ECBDCF981B5BECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
