„Heterogeneity and Rituals
The Means of Transmission of Knowledge and Contacts between Cultures”
Sabina Crippa – 9
Abstract The international project Multima. Languages, Objects, and
the Transmission of Rituals. An interdisciplinary analysis of some unresearched
ritual practices in the Greco-Egyptian papyri (PGM) aims at exploring contacts
between cultures, languages and rituals in Antiquity, starting from a composite
material whose heterogeneity is analysed as a basic element and a bearer of
meaning. The study of manuals of ritual practices, summae and encyclopaedias
ante litteram of knowledge and skills allows to develop new and
interdisciplinary suggestions for the history of ideas and the beginnings of
scientific thought.
„Una cultura/ Molte culture: modelli e memoria”
Emanuele M. Ciampini – 15
Abstract The culture of the Graeco-Egyptian papyri is one of the
best evidences of the transmission of ancient patterns in the Late Antiquity.
The role of the pharaonic culture in this passage can be recognized in the wide
diffusion of Egyptian elements – mainly from magical texts, but also from other
textual typologies – in this rich collection. Also the use of Greek and demotic
for the redaction of the papyri is an expression of the linguistic background
of the late period Egypt, where the local idiom is now used in the temple,
while the Greek is the language of the administration. The origin of this
complex tradition can be found it the Ramesside Egypt, whose religious
doctrines focused the inner nature of the divine world and the multiplicity of
its manifestations.
„La selección de encantamientos en un libro de magia Sobre la autoridad
acreditada en el PGM VII”
Raquel Martín Hernández – 21
Abstract PGM VII is a Greek magical handbook which was composed by
its principal scribe very carefully. The disposition and selection of
prescriptions speak about the composition of the formulary with a plan in mind.
In this article, the spells attributed to an author of prestige will be
analyzed in order to put in question the belief that the magical handbooks
written only in Greek demand a familiarity with international authors while the
Demotic handbooks demand only for national authorities. PGM VII shows a
preferred use of Hellenistic recognized authorities to “sale” better the
prescriptions of the formulary, a marketing strategy that speaks of the “taste”
of the potential readers
„Appréhender les influences multiculturelles sur les papyrus magiques
grecs Résultats, limites et perspectives de l’étude des marqueurs d’identité
culturelle”
Magali de Haro Sanchez – 37
Abstract This paper offers a methodological study aiming to define
discriminative markers of cultural identity for the Greek magical papyri, based
on the external and internal typologies of these texts. Without claiming to be
exhaustive, this research is intended to provide a new perspective to the
debate on multiculturalism which is becoming increasingly prominent in the
studies on ancient magic.
„Protective Statues for Home and Workshop The Evidence for
Cross-Cultural Contact in the Greek Magical Papyri”
Christopher A. Faraone – 59
Abstract The Greek magical papyri, especially the longer handbooks
from Upper Egypt, reflect a good deal of cross-cultural mixture, but often this
is not some form of free association, but rather a series of additions to or
translations of one culture’s traditional ritual or ritual object in order to
adapt or update it to new circumstances. This process is especially apparent in
two recipes in the famous Paris Magical Papyrus (PGM IV) for small wax
statuettes designed to protect or prosper houses or shops. In each case, the
creator of the recipe begins with a well known domestic talisman drawn from a
single cultural tradition – an image of the Egyptian god Pantheos or the Roman
god Mercury with his money sack – and then adds divine names or details drawn
from other traditions that reveal the cross-cultural currents in the
late-antique environment in which he worked. These additions are, moreover,
often acts of translation, for example, renaming the god depicted or giving him
a new epithet.
„Traditions pharaoniques et papyrus grecs magiques L’exemple du début
Papyrus Mimaut (P. Louvre N 2391 = PGM III)”
Yvan Koenig – 79
Abstract If the Ancient Pharaonic Traditions are well attested in
PGM, they display a great variety of utilisations : new elaborations on ancient
pharaonic themes, prolongation of magical pratices of the pharaonic period,
importance of magical names. But the names no more refer to a personal
divinity, but to different aspects of a transcendant and abstract God, who
caracterises the Late Antiquity.
