Abstract

"This volume publishes a new Coptic handbook of ritual power, comprising a complete 20 page parchment codex from the second half of the first millennium AD. It consists of an invocation including both Christian and Gnostic elements, ritual instructions, and a list of twenty-seven spells to cure demonic possession, various ailments, the effects of magic, or to bring success in love and business. The codex is not only a substantial new addition to the corpus of magical texts from Egypt, but, in its opening invocation, also provides new evidence for Sethian Gnostic thought in Coptic texts."--

Abstract

"This interdisciplinary study investigates the divine personas in the so-called magical hymns of the Greek magical papyri which, in a corpus usually seen as a significant expression of religious syncretism with strong Egyptian influence, were long considered to be the 'most authentically Greek' contribution. Fifteen hymns receive a line-by-line commentary focusing on religious concepts, ritual practice, language and style. The overarching aim is to categorise the nature of divinity according to its Greek or Egyptian elements, examining earlier Greek and Egyptian sources and religious-magical traditions in order to find textual or conceptual parallels. Are the gods of the magical hymns Greek or Egyptian in nature? Did the magical hymns originate in a Greek or Egyptian cultural background? The book tries to answer these questions and to shed light on the religious plurality and/or fusion of the two cultures in the treatment of divinity in the Greek magical papyri"--

Abstract

In dem 1904 erschienenen ersten Heft des vierten Bandes der Berliner Griechischen Urkunden aus Ägypten hatte Wilhelm Schubart unter dem Titel "Aus einem Aktenbuche" die am besten erhaltenen Texte eines Papyruskodex aus dem Ort Hermupolis Magna in Transkription und nur mit knappen Bemerkungen unter den Nummern 1024-1027 veröffentlicht. Unter diesen Texten, die in die Mitte des vierten Jahrhunderts n. Chr. zu datieren sind, befinden sich sieben Prozessberichte, vier Quittungen zur römischen Heeresversorgung, ein amtliches Mahnschreiben des Praeses der Thebais und drei Seiten mit Zaubertexten. Neun Seiten mit damals wenig interessant erscheinenden Aufstellungen und Abrechnungen blieben unberücksichtigt. Ihre Erstbearbeitung ermöglicht jedoch nun entscheidende Aussagen über den inneren Zusammenhang der verschiedenartigen Texte und somit auch über die bisher unbeantwortet gebliebene Frage nach dem Urheber des Kodex. Die Neubearbeitung ist daher von Interesse für Klassische Philologen, Alt-, Rechts- und Kulturhistoriker.
