First published in 1913, this book contains transcriptions, translations and illustrations of Aramaic exorcism texts from 40 bowls discovered during an archaeological expedition to Mesopotamia in 1888-1889, and dating from the early centuries CE. A substantial introduction sets the material in the context of Babylonian sorcery and Hellenistic magic.
