Between Worlds: Dybbuks, Exorcists, and Early Modern Judaism - Jewish Culture and Contexts
J. H. Chajes
Adopting a comparative historical approach, J. H. Chajes uncovers a strain of Jewish belief to which scant attention has been paid. Between Worlds provides fascinating descriptions of cases of possession as well as analysis of the magical techniques deployed by rabbinic exorcists to expel the ghostly intruders.
