dc.description.abstractThis thesis researches the phenomenon of magic circles in five medieval and early modern necromantic magical manuscripts. This study aimed to answer the question what elements comprised magic circles and which functions these different elements had. Although there are many different elements that comprise a circle, there are a few compulsory elements. The first is the circular outer band, the second the inscriptions which consist of names of God which were marked by crosses. Other elements were optional, these were mostly the elements which came through the influence of astral magic.en_US
