In the Middle Ages, textual amulets were thought to protect the bearer against enemies, to heal afflictions caused by demonic invasions, and to bring the wearer good fortune. Offering an analysis of many surviving textual amulets, this book provides a study of this once-common means of harnessing the magical power of words.
