For the first time in this book and in the German translation, Irina Wandrey makes two Hebrew texts available which contain significant proof of the fact that magic traditions which began in late antiquity continued up into the Middle Ages. At the end of the book there is a commentary section on the connection of both texts to the history of religion.
