Babylonian magic bowls : new database

The University of Southhampton's Virtual Magic Bowl Archive (VMBA) is launching a new database to record Jewish and non-Jewish personal names found in Babylonian incantation bowls from the 5th to 8th centuries CE, compiled as part of a British-Israeli research project (BIRAX).
Go to the VMBA website to find out about the new project and how to contribute.
You can also look at the results of a previous project - Aramaic Magical Texts from Late Antiquiry (AMTLA)
