" Forbidden Rites lays a solid foundation for future research on this topic and establishes a very high scholarly standard." --Frank Klaassen Canadian Journal of History, " Forbidden Rites opens a window onto aspects of late-medieval religion and culture that have often been hidden in the shadows. The material is fascinating, the arguments compelling. . . . All told, this is one of the most important works on late medieval magic from one of its most perceptive historians." --Rudolph Paul Almasy Sixteenth Century Journal, "I was captivated . . . by Forbidden Rites , part of an excellent series under the rubric Magic in History; with wonderful wit and succinct contextual insights, Richard Kieckhefer has edited a German wizard's grimoire, packed with spells for Prospero-like conjurations of phantom banquets and castles in the air, as well as complicated charms, many involving hoopoes, against all manner of ills." --Marina Warner, Times Literary Supplement, &"Forbidden Rites lays a solid foundation for future research on this topic and establishes a very high scholarly standard.&" &-Frank Klaassen, Canadian Journal of History, " Forbidden Rites opens a window onto aspects of late-medieval religion and culture that have often been hidden in the shadows.
