5.0 out of 5 stars A scholarly look at an ancient magic system, July 7, 2005
By Michael Banks "student of life" (New England, United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book does not pull any punches. In the first chapter, really right away, translations of the Chaldean writings are discussed. As a reader I was a little shocked and quite impressed. Usually there has to be a good bit of discussion before such a candid look at the actual translations. Lenormant (writing in the 19th century) wasted none of the reader's time in getting to the meat of the issue and leaves the scholarly deviations for later in the book. This makes it clean, quick, and easy to take a look at how the Chaldeans viewed medicine and apotropaic magic. Adapting this for one's own use (if so inclined) would be very easy. If this book isn't in your library then you aren't really studying ancient magic.
