COPY LINK URL ON DESCRIPTION
No books have been more feared than grimoires, and no
books have been more valued and revered. In Grimoires: A
History of Magic Books, Owen Davies illuminates the many
fascinating forms these recondite books have taken and
exactly what these books held. At their most benign, these
repositoriesof forbidden knowledge revealed how to make
powerful talismans and protective amulets, and provided
charms and conjurations for healing illness, finding love, and
warding off evil. But other books promised the power to control
innocent victims, even to call up the devil. Davies traces the
history ofthis remarkably resilient and adaptable genre, from
the ancient Middle East to modern America, offering a new
perspective on the fundamental developments of western
civilization over the past two thousand years. Grimoires shows
the influence magic and magical writing has had on the
cultures of theworld, richly demonstrating the role they have
played in the spread of Christianity, the growth of literacy, and
the influence of western traditions from colonial times to the
present.
