This thought-provoking collection of magical texts from ancient Egypt shows the exotic rituals, esoteric healing practices, and incantatory and supernatural dimensions that flowered in the early Christianity that gave rise to the Dead Sea Scrolls. These remarkable Christian magical texts include curses, spells of protection from "headless powers" and evil spirits, spells invoking thunderous powers, descriptions of fire baptism, and even recipes from a magical "cookbook." Virtually all the texts are by Coptic Christians, and they date from about the 1st-12th centuries of the common era, with the majority from late antiquity. By placing these rarely seen texts in historical context and discussing their significance, the authors explore the place of healing, prayer, miracles, and magic in the early Christian experience, and expand our understanding of Christianity and Gnosticism as a vital folk religion.

Dem antiken Verständnis nach war Magie weit mehr als nur ein Sammelsurium esoterischer Praktiken und Rituale, die vor allem zum eigenen Nutzen und zum Schaden anderer eingesetzt wurden. Vielmehr sind darunter alle religiösen Handlungen jenseits der institutionalisierten Kultausübung zu fassen. Dies zeigen auch die zwölf Aufsätze, die aus der im Frühjahr 2011 anlässlich der Rückkehr eines lange vermissten Heidelberger Zauberbüchleins organisierten Ausstellung 'Ägyptische Magie im Wandel der Zeiten' hervorgingen. Nunmehr um eine ausserägyptische Perspektive erweitert, reicht der zeitliche Rahmen der Beiträge in diesem Band von den Anfängen der Schriftlichkeit im Zweistromland und dem Alten Ägypten bis tief in das koptischsprachige Mittelalter hinein. Überblicksartikel vermitteln einen Eindruck von Magie in Mesopotamien und im Vorderen Orient sowie im spätzeitlichen Ägypten. Daneben stehen thematische Beiträge zu solchen Bereichen, in denen man sich bevorzugt magischer Mittel bediente, so beim Schutz der Grabstätte, bei der Abwehr von Schlangen und Skorpionen, im medizinischen Bereich und mit besonderer Energie bei der Verfolgung sexueller Ziele. Ägyptische und griechische Papyri, aber auch die gern mit Zeichnungen verbundenen koptischen Zaubertexte führen eine beunruhigende Vielfalt und Gestalt hilfreicher oder schädlicher Mächte vor Augen; magische Elemente im Neuen Testament kommen ebenso zur Sprache wie das breite Feld der Zahlensymbolik. Aus den hier erstmals systematisch zusammengestellten Magica der Heidelberger Papyrussammlung wird zugleich die grosse Rolle deutlich, die die Überlieferungslage für unsere Kenntnis all dessen spielt.

"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."--

"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"--

The Hay manuscripts are an assemblage of seven leather sheets bearing Coptic 'magical' texts and illustrations produced in the 8th/9th century AD. They contain a handbook, sometimes referred to as the 'Hay cookbook', and other formularies for protection, healing, competition and cursing, some with an especially aggressive sexual character. Although they were created within a Christian context with sometimes surprising biblical and extra-biblical references, the makers continued to use motifs from and the mechanics of earlier Greek and Egyptian magical practice. Acquired by the British Museum in 1868, the texts themselves were published in a cursory manner in separate publications in the 1930s. These hasty editions have been the basis for English translations, which have entered the academic discourse on ancient Christian 'magic' uncritically. This volume presents a completely new edition and translation of the Coptic texts and analysis of their illustrations.0An extended discussion of the cultural context of production of the manuscripts is made possible by the integration of recent conservation and scientific analysis undertaken at the British Museum. This research has revealed new insights into when the texts were produced as well as about the people who made and used them. Unlike previous publications on the subject, this book represents a multidisciplinary approach by focusing not only on the content of the texts, but presenting the manuscripts as archaeological objects in their own right.
