Gideon Bohak on the Pishra de-Rabbi Ḥanina Ben Dosa
Update: 2025-11-01
Description
We discuss a fascinating text of all-purpose protective and apotropaic magic with a history spanning millennia with the inimitable Gideon Bohak. Attributed to a first-century rabbi, the Pishra may have its roots in late-antique Babylonia, but it was still being copied into the twentieth century, and, who knows? perhaps today.
