Overview:

Greek Magical Papyri, datable between II BC and V AD, offer a wide and impressive panorama about magical and religious practices in Graeco-Roman Egypt. In this lexicon we collect and study more than 2500 words related to magic and religion contained in these documents, as they were presented in the editions of K. Preisendanz (Papyri Graecae Magicae) and R. Daniel - F. Maltomini (Supplementum Magicum). We also take into account some papyri appeared after this last edition.
