Rewriting the Testament of Solomon

Tradition, Conflict and Identity in a Late Antique Pseudepigraphon

by Todd E. Klutz

A scholarly study of the Testament of Solomon that examines how the text was assembled from earlier traditions and how its different recensions reflect the concerns of their communities. Klutz analyses the demonology, healing magic and narrative frame, and asks what the book tells us about Jewish and Christian identity in late antiquity. Written for academic readers, it is one of the most careful treatments of the earliest Solomonic magical text.
