Hello
We would like to introduce a new volume published by the The Hebrew university 
Magnes press:
Jewish Exorcism in Early Modern Ashkenaz
By Sara 
Zfatman<http://www.magnes-press.com/Authors/Sara+Zfatman.aspx?name=Sara+Zfatman>

An unknown story describing an exorcism of a ghost (in Yiddish) -Dibbuk- in 
Nikolsburg (Moravia in central Europe, today's Mikulov in Czech Republic) in 
1696 stands in the Center of this book.
The Sabbatiann background of many of the participants is revealed, and the 
magic manual which was used in the event is also published for the first time. 
This unparalleled detailed description is analyzed against the background of a 
"rival" account of the event in Hebrew.
The history of this genre of narratives is discussed, as is the influence on 
this folk-genre in the next generation.
The Book illuminates a fascinating and less known side of Ashkenazi Jews in the 
seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, and displays the full weight of Magic in 
their diverse cultural world.

Language: Hebrew
