Officina Magica

Another note of Jim Davila (cp. below) made me aware of a recent book on Magic I hadn't noticed yet: Officina Magica: Essays on the Practice of Magic in Antiquity (Ijs Studies in Judaica, V. 4).Brill 2005.

The publishers 'blurb' says: "This book discusses various aspects of the theory and practice of magic in antique cultures around the Mediterranean. While some of its contributors address problems of methodology of research into magic and the definition of magic, others deal with specific historical and textual issues. Although a major focus is on Jewish texts ranging from antiquity to the medieval period, the book also includes studies of several magical texts from ancient Mesopotamia and their impact on later magical practice, and studies of Greek and Zoroastrian texts and artifacts. The approaches thus range from the examination of textual or visual sources to theoretical issues such as the history of research and the definition of magic."

I wonder if anyone 'out there' knows if this volume contains any article or sections related to magic in Philo's works? I presume Jim, for one, would know... A comment in my comments field below would be welcome..
