Description of The Hay Archive of Coptic Spells on Leather: A Multidisciplinary Approach to the Materiality of Magical Practice
This volume presents a new translation and analysis of the Hay manuscripts: an assemblage of seven leather sheets bearing Coptic 'magical' texts produced in the 8th/9th century AD. They contain a handbook, known as the 'Hay cookbook', and other formularies for protection, healing and cursing, some with an especially aggressive sexual character.
