A pioneering interdisciplinary study of the art, production and social functions of Late Antique ritual artefacts. Utilising case studies from the Graeco-Egyptian magical papyri and the Heidelberg archive it establishes new approaches, provides a holistic understanding of the multi-sensory aspects of ritual practice, and explores the transmission of knowledge traditions across faiths.

Jay Johnston and Iain Gardner, University of Sydney, Australia.

"Ultimately, this book should serve as a fine point of departure for anyone interested
in the use of images in magical practice, whether or not those interests lie in the late antique Mediterranean."
Zachary R. Schwarze in: Religious Studies Review, 2/2023
