Beware the Evil Eye Volume 2

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“John H. Elliot's Beware the Evil Eye: The Evil Eye in the Bible and the Ancient World is a monumental achievement. A work of devoted and painstaking research focused on Greece and Rome, volume 2 of the four-volume study provides detailed analysis of the ancient folkloric belief in the evil eye. This is the work of a brilliant intellect, who has given us the last scholarly word on this perplexing ancient belief. The book is essential reading for anthropologists, biblical and classical scholars, medievalists, folklorists, and art historians. No one will have anything to add to this conversation for the imaginable future.”
