Eliezar (ca. 70-79 C.E.)
Eliezar (ca. 70-79 C.E.)
Legendary Jewish exorcist. According to the historian Josephus (ca. 37-ca. 100 C.E.), who claimed to have witnessed an exorcism in the presence of Emperor Vespasian, Eliezar applied to the possessed person a ring to which was attached a magical root prescribed by King Solomon. This drew out the devils, which Eliezar caused to pass into a basin of water, which was immediately poured away.
