Description:
"This volume demonstrates that the word "magic" was widely employed in late antique texts as part of polemical attacks on enemies - but at the simplest level it was merely a term used for other people's rituals." "Janowitz's work illuminates the fact that acvities denounced as magical were integral to late antique religious practice, and shows that they must be understood from the perspective of those who employed them."--Jacket.
