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.
