Damigeron, De Lapidibus

More than 70 healing stones with their healing (or damaging) effects are presented by the ancient author Damigeron (2^nd century A.D.) in this almost 2000 year old book, which was highly famous for centuries. In the examples of use we encounter kings and servants, homeowners and burglars, athletes and addicts, gladiators and robbers, masters and slaves, but above all women and children, whose social reality is rarely considered in other ancient texts. For the first time, the work will be critically edited, translated and indexed.
