A Corpus of Syriac Incantation Bowls: Syriac Magical Texts from Late-Antique Mesopotamia: 3 (Magical and Religious Literature of Late Antiquity) - Hardcover

"In the end, this volume is a most welcome reference work on the Syriac incantation bowls. By gathering almost all of the previously published bowls in one convenient place and by providing new readings with translation and philological commentary, the volume marks a key step toward developing a reliable corpus on which further studies of the bowls can be based." -Aaron Michael Butts, The Catholic University of America, Journal of Near Eastern Studies, Vol. 74.

"This beautifully presented book will stimulate further interest in the incantation bowls, but also in the history of Aramaic and its scripts during the middle of the first millennium CE. It is complemented by excellent indices: glossary and lists of angels, deities and demons and clients (who commissioned) and adversaries (who were expected to suffer the effects of the incantation). The author is to be congratulated." -John F. Healey, University of Manchester, ARAM 28:1&2 (2016), 567-568.

"The volume certainly makes an enormous contribution to furthering studies on Syriac incantation texts, and more generally on incantation bowls. For any scholar who has an interest in incantation bowls, this work is a 'must, '..." - Erica C. D. Hunter, School of African and Oriental Studies, London, Hugoye - Journal of Syriac Studies 21.1 (2018)
