Brossura. Condición: new. English Text.Sarzana, 2022; paperback, pp. 214, cm 16,5x23,5. The aim of this volume is to probe the complexities surrounding the idea of "magic" in the early modern period through the specific lens of materials.

The authors touch on different geographic and linguistic fields (Greek, Arabic, Hebrew, Latin, and the nascent European vernacular languages). By addressing specific examples of magical materials, the essays provide a glimpse into how philosophers, artists, playwrights, and everyday individuals in Europe made sense of the terrestrial/celestial, natural/supernatural, and legendary/real worlds of magic. The studies cross a large diachronic space, from the fourteenth century to the first half of the seventeenth century, revealing the numerous faces of magic in this kaleidoscopic era. Libro.…
