Resumen de Echoes of Niranj Magic in the Work of Albert the Great
Niranj magic is a genre of magic which is closely connected with a cluster of texts known as Pseudo-Aristotelian Hermetica. As Charles Burnett’s groundbreaking study has shown, a part of these texts has been translated in Latin, albeit not without problems. In fact, the term niranj as such was never translated in Latin and thus tracing the ‘luck’ of this genre of magic in the texts of the Middle Ages is a difficult and arduous task. Despite the aforementioned challenges, this paper aims to show that echoes of niranj magic can be tracked in the work of Albert the Great. In this regard, my study can be deemed as a natural sequel of Burnett’s initial study
