Jay Johnston and Iain Gardner, University of Sydney, Australia.
A pioneering interdisciplinary study of the art, production and social functions of Late Antique ritual artefacts. Utilising case studies from the Graeco-Egyptian magical papyri and the Heidelberg archive it establishes new approaches, provides a holistic understanding of the multi-sensory aspects of ritual practice, and explores the transmission of knowledge traditions across faiths.

in the use of images in magical practice, whether or not those interests lie in the late antique Mediterranean."
