In Pursuit of Invisibility: Ritual Texts from Late Roman Egypt - AMERICAN STUDIES IN PAPYROLOGY

A close examination of invisibility in the context of the Greco-Roman world, from the role invisibility enjoys as a literary motif to the ritual spells whose logos and praxis in magic papyri promise the individual that he will move about unseen by others.
