The belief that dead people could assume non-human forms is attested in Egyptian texts of all periods, from the Old Kingdom down to Graeco-Roman times. It was thought that assuming such forms enhanced their freedom of movement and access to nourishment in the afterlife, as well as allowing them to join the entourages of different deities and participate in their worship. Spells referring to or enabling the deceased’s transformations occur in the Pyramid Texts, the Coffin Texts, and the Book of the Dead. But it is not until the Graeco-Roman Period that we find entire compositions devoted to this theme. Two of the most important are P. Louvre N. 3122 and P. Berlin P. 3162, both written in hieratic and dating to the 1st century AD. Both texts have been known to Egyptologists for more than a century, but neither is currently available in an up-to-date comprehensive edition. This book provides such an edition, including high-resolution images of the manuscripts, hieroglyphic transcriptions, translations, descriptions of their material aspects, studies of their owners, their titles, and their families, reconstructions of their context of usage, analyses of their orthography and grammar, and detailed commentaries on their contents.

This book is an investigation into the sphere of production and use of two related bilingual magical handbooks found as part of a larger collection of magical and alchemical manuscripts around 1828 in the hills surrounding Luxor, Egypt. Both handbooks, dating to the Roman period, contain an assortment of recipes for magical rites in the Demotic and Greek language. The library which comprises these two handbooks is nowadays better known as the Theban Magical Library. The book traces the social and cultural milieu of the composers, compilers and users of the extant spells through a combination of philology, sociolinguistics and cultural analysis. To anybody working on Greco-Roman Egypt, ancient magic, and bilingualism this study is of significant importance.

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.
