Studies in Magic from Latin LiteratureAMS Press, 1916 - 155 Seiten This dissertation will attempt to furnish a general introduction to Roman magic, especially as reflected in Latin literature; and then, to add, as a specimen of detailed study, a chapter on Roman prophylactic magic. It may be added that Greek literature has been drawn upon only where it bears directly upon our discussion, and that no exhaustive collection of the material of Latin literature itself has been attempted beyond the 3rd century of our era. Contents: Introduction to the study of Roman magic; Magic and the prevention of disease. |
