Binding Words: Textual Amulets in the Middle Ages - Magic in History
Skemer, Don C. (Curator of Manuscripts, Harvey S. Firestone Memorial Library, Princeton University)

Offering an analysis of many surviving textual amulets, this book provides a study of this once-common means of harnessing the magical power of words.
