Altes Blei neu ausgegraben. Textkritische Bemerkungen zu den lateinischen “Defixiones” aus Hadrumentum (2004)

unapi

The Latin "curse-tablets" from Hadrumentum have only been edited once, by Auguste Audollent, partly in the well-known monograph, Defixionum Tabellae, partly in different reviews, the most recent "editio princeps" dating from 1930. Now, the tablets fromo Hadrumentum offer particular features that facillitate the decipherment and reading of the written spells, since they have not onlyu been found in one single spot, the roman necropolis on the road to Kairouan, but also are inscribed with similar magical formulas. A re-reading of the texts is thus very promising. This new approach, though, is not only based on the examination of isolated linguistic phenomena, but considers the texts as a coherent unity, by combining the study of philological and palaeographifc data with the analysis of the texts' structure. The comparison of five parallel "curse tablets" allows to establish a holistic view that has not been provided so far.
