SIMON MAGUS IN PATRISTIC, MEDIEVAL, AND EARLY MODERN TRADITIONS. By Albert Ferreiro. Studies in the History of Christian Traditions 125. Leiden: Brill, 2005. Pp. xi + 371. 89 [euro].

Ferreiro's 15 chapters examine the literary and artistic reception, throughout the early and medieval Christian periods, of Simon Magus, the messianic magician of Acts 8. The great strength of F.'s study is its later treatment of the artistic representations of Simon, while the volume suffers from the fact that the chapters, of which all but one were previously published, are poorly edited.
