Reviews

<em>Invoking Angels</em> makes an important contribution to the growing scholarly literature on medieval and early modern ritual magic. </p>--Christopher Lehrich, Boston University</p>

Just as Conjuring Spirits did for medieval ritual magic, Invoking Angels has set a new path for the field of medieval theurgy. --Laura Mitchell, Preternature Challenging many traditional assumptions, Fanger's collection of essays is an erudite, complex, and fascinating work of deep scholarship that needs to be incorporated into our broader quest to comprehend the intertwined worlds of religion, magic, and science in the late-medieval and early modern worlds. --Gary K. Waite, Magic, Ritual, and Witchcraft Invoking Angels makes an important contribution to the growing scholarly literature on medieval and early modern ritual magic. --Christopher Lehrich, Boston University
