Ancient Jewish Magic: A History de Gideon Bohak
It is rare to find a nonfiction, scholarly book that is not only informative, but well-written and enjoyable. Bohak adds just a touch of humor to make this possibly dry topic a pleasure to read. His view that history of Jewish magic is nothing to be ashamed of or glossed-over by traditional scholars, but a legitimate aspect of ancient Jewish practice. I only wish he'd included information on Babylonia and its magic practitioners.
