Maryline Parca Phillips, Richard Lynn 2015-09-28T16:03:38Z 2015-09-28T16:03:38Z 10000-01-01 2002 2002 The prolegomena examine how humans are portrayed as deliberately procuring invisibility in purportedly historical and fictional accounts and in doing so, attempt to answer key questions concerning the ritual practices found in the extant invisibility spells. How does the practitioner envision invisibility? For what reasons does he employ such spells? Who is the practitioner? The prolegomena also introduce and survey the Greek texts themselves. The second half of the study provides revised critical editions of the Greek texts, bibliographies, and commentaries (on matters of palaeography, ritual practice, religious belief, and literary background) for each invisibility spell.
