  • Liber Iuratus Honorii (“The Sworn Book of Honorius”)

    Posted by Andrea Centore on 06/10/2024 à 11:45

    Dear all,

    As promised yesterday during the study group, I am sharing with you the reference I mentioned about the way the orality of Greek magic was combined with the efficacy of the visual signifier in Egyptian magic in late antiquity:

    Frankfurter, David. “The Magic of Writing and the Writing of Magic: The Power of the Word in Egyptian and Greek Traditions.” Helios 21, no. 2 (1994): 189-221

    I am also sharing the doctoral dissertation of Andrea Franchetto, who was our guest for the first session of the study group on the Liber Iuratus:

    Cheers,
    Andrea

    I am sharing here Andrea Franchetto’s event schema of the ritual in Liber iuratus Honorii (Northern Tradition), as presented in his PhD dissertation. It is very helpful to navigate the text.

    For our last session on the Liber iuratus (December 7), I recommend that participants review pages 109–123 of Franchetto’s dissertation, which is accessible via open access (see previous message for the reference).

    In addition, for insights into how ritual efficacy is linked to the reconfiguration of the network of relations in which practitioners stand, please refer to Richard Kieckhefer’s work, Forbidden Rites: A Necromancer’s Manual of the Fifteenth Century (University Park, PA: Pennsylvania State University Press, 2003), 15.
