Zusammenfassung:"This volume presents a new reading of a Proto-Coptic magical text
Papyrus British Museum EA 10808 features a unique spell for a victim of divine wrath composed in the liturgical language of ancient Egypt but in Greek script with a few Demotic signs."
"Val H. Sederholm reveals a coherent and distinctive text that contributes to the illumination of Egyptian thought in the Graeco-Roman period just before the great shutdown of the ancient temple learning."
"In nine chapters of transcription, translation, and commentary, Sederholm considers such features as taboo, secrecy, and the efficacy of magical words and names.
He also discusses the destructive nature of the stars and the role of Fate in the bloody slaughter of divine enemies within the text."
