Jewish Magic Bibliography

Transcription

I intend the following bibliography to serve as an aid to the student of Jewish “magic,”
however defined. It ranges from biblical to modern times and is organized both
chronologically and by subject with many entries appearing in multiple locations to
facilitate research. My former undergraduate student Alex Jassen (now an Assistant
Professor in the Department of Classical and Near Eastern Studies at the University of
Minnesota) originally compiled the bibliography with the assistance of a Mary Gates
Undergraduate Research Grant at the University of Washington. More recently, my
graduate student Jacob Rennaker has helped to correct incomplete information and to
reformat the bibliography. I now maintain and update the site. If you know of works that
should be included please send me the complete citation at snoegel@u.washington.edu.
