This is a call for papers for a conference on ancient and mediaeval magic to be held at the University of New England, Armidale, NSW, Australia, on the 26th and 27th of September, 2001.  The Keynote Speaker will be Professor C. A. Faraone (Chair of Classics at the University of Chicago).

Interest in the study of magic and superstition, and their relationship with religion, society and culture, have been growing almost exponentially in the past decades.  Studies on these topics from historical, sociological, anthropological, literary, epigraphic, papyrological and religious/theological perspectives have flourished and provoked much exciting discussion, thought and writing, internationally as well as in Australia and New Zealand.  For this reason, it seems timely to bring together Australasian and International scholars from Classics, Ancient and Mediaeval History, Religious Studies and other disciplines with an interest in magic and superstition for the first conference of this kind in the region, to discuss, debate and share our knowledge and  ideas.

We invite scholars from all disciplines with an interest in magic and superstition in the ancient or mediaeval periods to present papers at this conference.

Abstracts of 500 words (max.) should be submitted by e-mail, mail or fax. before 30 April, 2001.  Abstracts should contain the title of your paper, your name, title and affiliation, and contact details.  Papers should aim to be 30-40 minutes in length.  Send abstracts to:
