Studies in Magic From Latin Literature by Eugene Tavenner is a comprehensive exploration of the role and significance of magic in ancient Latin literature. The book delves into various aspects of magic, including its practice, beliefs, and cultural significance, as depicted in the works of prominent Latin authors such as Ovid, Virgil, and Apuleius. Tavenner examines the literary and historical contexts in which magic was portrayed, and analyzes the ways in which it was used as a literary device to convey themes such as power, desire, and transformation. The book also explores the relationship between magic and religion, as well as the social and political implications of magical practices in ancient Rome. With its detailed analysis and insightful commentary, Studies in Magic From Latin Literature offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of ancient magic and its enduring influence on literature and culture.1916. This dissertation will attempt to furnish a general introduction to Roman magic, especially as reflected in Latin literature; and then, to add, as a specimen of detailed study, a chapter on Roman prophylactic magic. It may be added that Greek literature has been drawn upon only where it bears directly upon our discussion, and that no exhaustive collection of the material of Latin literature itself has been attempted beyond the 3rd century of our era. Contents: Introduction to the study of Roman magic; Magic and the prevention of disease.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
