Marvin Meyer and Richard Smith present translations of Coptic texts of ritual power from late antique and early medieval Egypt, prepared with a team of contributors. The texts include spells, amulets and invocations for healing, protection, love, cursing and other purposes, many invoking Christian, Gnostic and older Egyptian powers. It is an important resource for understanding magical practice in early Christian communities and its continuities with earlier traditions.
