My goodness...this is a dense read.

In this work, Matthew Dickie sets out to chronical the development of both the concept of magic and the magician in the Greek and Roman worlds. He succeeds well enough that I would highly recommend this book.

Beginning with an overview of what constitutes magic and magical behavior in the Classical world, Dickie traces the evolution of the concept of magic through his chosen period (500 BCE - 700 CE). His precise field of inquiry is the "common" magic-worker, insofar as such a practitioner existed.
