SoSe 16: The Science of Talismans
Lucia Raggetti
Kommentar
In its first centuries the Arabo-Islamic culture inherited a great lore on talismans from Ancient and Late-antique times. This knowledge was recorded in technical treatises in which Aristotle, Alexander the Great, Apollonius of Tyana, and ʿUṭārid ibn Muḥammad are presented as the authorities in this highly specialised field of expertise. The large and varied anthological selection of primary sources offered in this seminar will introduce the students into the material culture and literary tradition related to talismans, a relevant case of knowledge transfer in premodern times.
