Rider, Catherine, "Magic and Impotence: Recent Developments in Medieval Historiography", History Compass, 5/3 (2007), 955-962.

Resum

There has been a great deal of scholarship on medieval magic published in the last twenty years. This article discusses the author's recent book, Magic and Impotence in the Middle Ages, and surveys how it fits into other recent research on medieval magic. This recent research has taken three directions in particular: research on the medieval origins of the early modern witch-hunts; on the contents and circulation of magical texts in medieval Europe; and on the various ways in which historians have related magic to other areas of medieval religion and culture.
