Krátky popis
A copiously illustrated global history of magic books, from ancient
papyri to pulp paperbacks Grimoires, textbooks of magic and occult
knowledge, have existed through the ages alongside other magic and
religious texts in part because of the need to create a physical
record of magical phenomena, but also to enact magic through spells
and rituals. To understand the history of these texts is to
understand the influence of the major religions, the development of
early science, the cultural influence of print, the growth of
literacy, the social impact of colonialism, and the expansion of
esoteric cultures across the oceans. In more than two hundred color
illustrations from ancient times to the present, renowned scholar
Owen Davies examines little-studied artistic qualities of
grimoires, revealing a unique world of design and imagination.The
book takes a global approach, considering Egyptian and Greek
papyri, ancient Chinese bamboo scripts, South American pulp prints,
and Japanese demon encyclopedias, among other examples. This book
will enchant readers interested in the history of magic and
science, as well as in book and manuscript history.
