Description

Explore the history of talismanic magic and divination through this scholarly study from Routledge. This volume examines the terminology of necromancy and its place within medieval scientific divisions. It traces the evolution of talismanic texts from the Classical period, through the Arabic world, and into the Latin Middle Ages. Readers will learn how the search for secret knowledge from authorities like Hermes and Aristotle drove the massive translation movement from Arabic into Latin in 12th-century Spain. The text provides a detailed look at how these ancient traditions shaped medieval thought. The second half of the book focuses on specific examples of divination practices found in both Arabic and Latin-reading societies. This collection is an essential resource for those studying the history of science, religion, and ancient texts in the Islamic and Christian worlds.
