This fascicle contains 483 curse tablets discovered in Athens and Attica: binding spells inscribed on lead tablets (katádesmoi, defixiones). They offer unique insights into the mentalities of ancient people from various social classes. All texts were reread after thorough restoration. Drawings, photos, and extensive indices explore these special testaments to the fascinating world of ancient magic.
