    Keywords: Cairo Genizah ; Jewish magic History
    Abstract: The Cairo Geniza has proved to be a fascinating trove of information about all aspects of Jewish life in the medieval and early modern period, magic being one of them. Hundreds of manuscripts, in different states of conservation, testify to the interest of Jews in composing and copying magical manuals as well as producing amulets and curses and otherwise attempting to harness the supernatural in order to achieve earthly aims. This essay introduces the reader to Geniza magical texts and provides some guidelines for reading these documents.

    Abstract: This chapter provides an overview of practices that may be termed “magical”, employed by Jews in various locations, primarily during Late Antiquity. The practices are divided according to aim (protective or aggressive magic) as well as form (oral, textual, or a manipulation of materials). The chapter provides examples from the rabbinic literature as well as magic manuals, exemplifying magical practices and beliefs common among some Jews in that period.
