Book excerpt: "The Acts of Saint Cyprian of Antioch consist of three principal texts, the Conversion, Confession, and Martyrdom, which were composed in Greek by three different authors during the latter half of the fourth century CE. Collectively they recount in first- and third-person narratives the life and deeds of a pagan magician in Syrian Antioch, his eventual conversion to Christianity, and his martyrdom under Diocletian. Eminent scholars such as Arthur Darby Nock, Friedrich Bilabel, and Howard M. Jackson once expressed their intentions to devote themselves to constructing authoritative editions of the Acts, but each proposal was abandoned due to insufficient manuscript evidence. This thesis presents critical editions of the Greek Acts based on newly discovered and previously unedited manuscript materials. The complete text of the Confession, in which Cyprian outlines in lurid detail his initiatory experiences in Greece, Egypt, and Chaldaea and his past crimes as a sorcerer in Syria, is reconstructed here for the first time. The Greek editions include facing-page English translations and commentary in the form of annotations. The introduction provides an overview of critical scholarship on the Acts and offers new proposals concerning the authorship, date, and provenance of each Act, their relationships to each other (composition history) and to other literatures, problems in reception history, and the Greek manuscript tradition." --
Download or read book Ancient Christian Magic written by Marvin W. Meyer and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 1999-04-04 with total page 430 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thought-provoking collection of magical texts from ancient Egypt shows the exotic rituals, esoteric healing practices, and incantatory and supernatural dimensions that flowered in early Christianity. These remarkable Christian magical texts include curses, spells of protection from "headless powers" and evil spirits, spells invoking thunderous powers, descriptions of fire baptism, and even recipes from a magical "cookbook." Virtually all the texts are by Coptic Christians, and they date from about the 1st-12th centuries of the common era, with the majority from late antiquity. By placing these rarely seen texts in historical context and discussing their significance, the authors explore the place of healing, prayer, miracles, and magic in the early Christian experience, and expand our understanding of Christianity and Gnosticism as a vital folk religion.
