The Critical Catalogue of Mesopotamian Anti-witchcraft Rituals (CCMAwR) is the backbone of the online corpus of Mesopotamian anti-witchcraft texts. It offers information on the different anti-witchcraft compositions/editions and their manuscripts/tablets.
You can search the CCMAwR catalogue for tablets by choosing one of the first three options when you are looking for respectively: 1) information on a specific tablet; 2) a group of tablets (e.g., all anti-witchcraft tablets from a certain provenance or period); or 3) a tablet that was copied in a certain publication.
The resulting page will give you information on the tablet's format, the language, script and the period it was written in, and its archival context (if known). Links to CDLI and/or HPM are provided when available. Moreover, Schwemer's cuneiform copies, including his collection of Maqlû copies, can be accessed. If the tablet is edited in CMAwR vol. 1 or 2, links to information on the relevant composition(s) on CCMAwR and to their digital edition on Oracc (vol. 1) are given as well.
You can also search the CCMAwR catalogue for compositions by choosing one of the last three options when you are looking for respectively: 4) information on a specific composition (by group and title as edited in CMAwR); 5) the composition(s) including certain incantations; or 6) a composition that was previously edited elsewhere (thus excluding CMAwR).
The composition information is at present available for the compositions edited in CMAwR vol. 1 (complete), vol. 2 (in progress) and Maqlû (complete). The retrieved data includes a link to the composition on Oracc (vol. 1), information on the content and synopsis of the text (vol. 1), previous editions (vol. 1, Maqlû) and relevant manuscripts (vol. 1 and 2, Maqlû).

CCMAwR was created as part of the DFG-funded project Corpus babylonischer Rituale und Beschwörungen gegen Schadenzauber: Edition, lexikalische Erschließung, historische und literarische Analyse, directed by Daniel Schwemer at the University of Würzburg.
Tabella Defixionis Project se propose de rescencer les tablettes de défixions découvertes à travers le monde gréco-romain. En effet, c'est à ce jour plus de 2000 tablettes qui ont été mises au jour. Elles constituent une base essentielle du travail de l'Historien qui s'intéresse à ces civilisations et à l'histoire des mentalités.
LMPG en línea es la edición digital del libro Léxico de magia y religión en los papiros mágicos griegos, obra de Luis Muñoz Delgado publicada en 2001 como Anejo V del Diccionario Griego-Español. Esta edición en línea está concebida como un paso más en el proyecto de digitalización de nuestras publicaciones. Ha sido realizada a partir de la conversión en XML del Léxico, con una estructura acorde con las recomendaciones de la TEI P5.
Los papiros mágicos griegos, que se sitúan cronológicamente entre los siglos II a.C. y V d.C., ofrecen un amplio e impresionante panorama sobre las prácticas mágico-religiosas en el Egipto greco-romano. En este léxico vienen recogidos y estudiados más de dos mil quinientos términos relacionados con la magia y la religión atestiguados en estos documentos, tal y como se encuentran recogidos en las ediciones de K. Preisendanz (Papyri Graecae Magicae) y de R. Daniel y F. Maltomini (Supplementum Magicum). También han sido tenidos en cuenta algunos papiros editados con posterioridad a esta última edición. Para más información sobre el planteamiento y contenido de este Léxico remitimos a la Introducción a cargo del autor.
En su contribución al volumen The Oxford Handbook of Papyrology (ed. R.S. Bagnall, Oxford, O.U.P., 2009, pp.644-660), titulada «The Future of Papyrology», Peter van Minnen señala (p. 652), junto a la presencia del corpus de Preisendanz en el Thesaurus Linguae Graecae, la existencia de este léxico, si bien lamenta que, en su versión impresa, no resulte tan útil como una “fully searchable database”. Esperamos que LMPG en línea constituya un avance significativo en esta dirección para los estudios papirológicos y sobre la magia y la religión griega en general.
LMPG en línea es un recurso open access, siguiendo la política institucional del CSIC, que en 2006 suscribió la Declaración de Berlín sobre el acceso abierto al conocimiento en las Humanidades y las Ciencias.
The Societas Magica is an organization dedicated to furthering communication and exchange among scholars interested in the study of magic, both in the positive contexts of its expression as an area of necessary knowledge or religious practice (as in early modern occultism and contemporary paganism), and in its negative contexts as the substance of an accusation or condemnation (as in sorcery trials, and many philosophical and theological accounts, both early and late). The interests of our membership include, but are not limited to, the history and sociology of magic; theological, and intellectual apprehensions of magic; practices and theories of magic; and objects, artifacts and texts either qualified as magical by their creators, or forming the substance of an accusation of magic by others.
