Magical Jewels of the Middle Ages and the Renaissance Particularly in England by Joan Evans is a comprehensive exploration of the use of precious stones and jewels in magical practices during the Middle Ages and Renaissance periods, with a particular focus on England. The author delves into the symbolism and significance of various gemstones, such as rubies, sapphires, and emeralds, and how they were believed to possess mystical powers that could be harnessed for protection, healing, and divination. Evans also examines the role of jewelry in religious and royal ceremonies, as well as its use in amulets, talismans, and other magical objects. Drawing on historical accounts, literature, and art, the book provides a fascinating glimpse into the beliefs and practices of people in the past and their relationship with the natural world.This Is A New Release Of The Original 1922 Edition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
