Hey folk! ✨We’re having Professor Sophie Page give a lecture on Medieval magic after reading week.
Bring along your friends to this rare opportunity. Sophie works in the area of European medieval magic and astrology, especially in relation to religion, natural philosophy, and cosmology. Her publications include Magic in the Cloister: Pious Motives, Illicit Interests, and Occult Approaches to the Medieval Universe (2013), two edited collections, The Unorthodox Imagination in Late Medieval Britain (2011) and the Routledge history of Medieval Magic and two books published with the British Library: Astrology in Medieval Manuscripts and Magic in Medieval Manuscripts. Sophie is currently working on a book on Nature and Magic in Medieval Europe. Sophie was the curator of Spellbound: Magic, Ritual and Witchcraft (Ashmolean Museum, August 2018 –January 2019). We look forward to seeing you there!
