Jewish Magic and Superstition: A Study in Folk Religion is a comprehensive examination of the magical practices and beliefs of Jewish communities throughout history. Written by Joshua Trachtenberg, a renowned scholar of Jewish folklore and religion, the book explores the various forms of magic and superstition that have been part of Jewish culture for centuries.Trachtenberg begins by tracing the origins of Jewish magic and superstition, exploring the influence of ancient Near Eastern and Hellenistic practices on Jewish belief systems. He then delves into the various forms of Jewish magic, including amulets, incantations, and divination, and explores the role of magic in Jewish life and culture.Throughout the book, Trachtenberg emphasizes the importance of understanding Jewish magic and superstition as a form of folk religion, rather than dismissing it as mere superstition. He argues that these practices have played an important role in shaping Jewish culture and identity, and that they continue to be relevant and meaningful to many Jews today.Overall, Jewish Magic and Superstition is a fascinating and insightful exploration of a little-understood aspect of Jewish culture and religion. It is an essential read for anyone interested in Jewish history, folklore, or religion.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
