Kyprianos Database of Ancient Ritual Texts and Objects

 Kyprianos Database of Ancient Ritual Texts and Objects

The Kyprianos Database of Ancient Ritual Texts and Objects is intended to serve as a resource for the study of magical, alchemical, astrological and other ritual and related texts from the ancient and medieval Mediterranean world. At present our focus is on magical texts written in Coptic, Greek, and Demotic from Egypt.

This project builds upon previous work, notably that of Franziska Naether on Trismegistos Magic, and on the checklist of published Coptic magical texts created by Roxanne Bélanger Sarrazin.

The database is regularly updated. Click here to see a list of updates.
