Christopher A. Faraone’s and Sofía Torallas Tovar’s edited book is the product of the research project “The Transmission of Magical Knowledge”, funded by the Neubauer Collegium for Culture and Society at the University of Chicago and led by the editors of the volume under review since 2015. After Karl Preisendanz’s influential first edition of the magical papyri––Papyri Graecae Magicae (PGM), completed between 1928 and 1931, and revised in 1974 by Albert Henrichs––and Hans Dieter Betz’s 1986 English translation of the Greek and Demotic magical papyri, Faraone and Torallas Tovar have created in Greek and Egyptian magical formularies (GEMF) an invaluable and much needed corpus. Not only does it thoroughly deal with fifty-four Greek, Demotic and Coptic magical texts, but it also presents important differences from Preisendanz’s and Betz’s editions.

"The magical formularies on papyrus are precious witnesses to practices and processes of cultural transmission: i.e. the creation, communication, transformation and preservation of knowledge, both in text and image, across history. More than eighty such handbooks survive, some of them in a fragmentary state. This volume, the first of two, is the work of an international team of papyrologists and historians of magic and presents fifty-four of the earlier handbooks or their fragments, spanning the period from second century BCE to third century CE, in a new edition which includes the original texts in the three languages (Greek, Demotic, Coptic) with a full material description and a facing translation with commentary"-- Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
