„This volume collects the papers
presented at a symposium on ancient Egyptian demonology held in Rhodes in 2003.
Despite the publication delay, the assembled essays deal with still up-to-date
issues in demonology and magic. As mentioned in the introduction (xv), the two
sections of the book reflect the two main thematic sessions of the symposium:
the first one (‘‘Demons and Personification’’) dealing with a theoretical
discussion on the nature and function of demons in society and religion, with
the second one focusing on magic and rituals. This second section would perhaps
have been better placed at the beginning of the book in order to serve as
general introduction on magic before getting into the more specific topic of
the ancient Egyptian beliefs in demons and of the magical rituals directed to
them” (p. 99).
