Magic in History Ser.: Forbidden Rites : A Necromancer's Manual of the Fifteenth

Description: MAGIC IN HISTORY "Forbidden Rites is the best book on magic in the late Middle Ages and a great introduction to the problematic relations of magic and religion in general." H. C. ERIK MIDELFORT, University of Virginia P reserved in the Bavarian State Library in Munich is a manuscript that few scholars have noticed and that no one in modern times has treated with the seriousness it deserves. Forbidden Rites consists of an edition of this medieval Latin text with a full commentary, including detailed analysis of the text and its contents, discussion of the historical context, translation of representative sections of the text, and comparison with other necromantic texts of the late Middle Ages. Like many medieval texts for the use of magicians, it is a miscellany rather than a systematic treatise. It is exceptional, however, in the scope and variety of its contents-prayers and conjurations, rituals of sympathetic magic, procedures involving astral magic, a catalogue of spirits, lengthy ceremonies for consecrating a book of magic, and other materials. With more detail on particular experiments than the famous thirteenth- century Picatrix and more variety than the Thesaurus Necromatiae ascribed to Roger Bacon, the manual is one of the most interesting and important manuscripts of medieval magic that has yet come to light. RICHARD KIECKHEFER is Professor of Religion and History at Northwestern University and an acknowledged expert on medieval magic and witchcraft. His publications include: European Witch Trials: Their Foundations in Popular and Learned Culture, 1300-1500; Repression of Heresy in Medieval Germany; Unquiet Souls: Fourteenth-Century Saints and Their Religious Milieu; and Magic in the Middle Ages.
