520    "This book takes a deep dive into the origins of the evil 
       eye, from ancient Egyptian practices to those found in 
       ancient Greece and Rome. Most people are unaware that the 
       world's major monotheistic religions are replete with 
       references to the evil eye. What did Jesus say about it in
       his Sermon on the Mount? The prophet Muhammad warned 
       against the dangers of the eye, but what remedy did he 
       provide to offset misfortune? Why and how does the evil 
       eye appear in the rabbinic literature and other Jewish 
       texts? These (and other) timeless questions are answered 
       in this book"--|cProvided by publisher. 
520    "A practical, modern-day exploration of one of the oldest,
       most universal, and storied forms of folk magic. The "evil
       eye" is rich with cultural anecdotes and traditions, 
       mystical lore, and modern concepts. This book takes a deep
       dive into the origins of the evil eye, from ancient 
       Egyptian practices to those found in ancient Greece and 
       Rome. Most people are unaware that the world's major 
       monotheistic religions are replete with references to the 
       evil eye. What did Jesus say about it in his Sermon on the
       Mount? The prophet Muhammad warned against the dangers of 
       the eye, but what remedy did he provide to offset 
       misfortune? Why and how does the evil eye appear in 
       rabbinic literature and other Jewish texts? The Evil Eye 
       answers these (and other) timeless questions while taking 
       readers on a literary journey that is at once informative,
       enlightening, and, at times, disturbing. The book: Defines
       the evil eye and traces its roots into antiquity and 
       across an extraordinary breadth of cultures and 
       traditions. Shows readers how to diagnose the evil eye, 
       how to cure it, as well as cast it on others. Explores the
       use of amulets and talismans bearing the "evil eye," 
       including its remarkable prevalence in popular jewelry 
       designs. Includes the history and use of various talismans
       such as the Hamsa; the Italian cornicello and mano figa; 
       the azabache stone; the Kabbalah red string; mirror 
       pendants; jumble beads; the Assyrian evil eye; and many 
       others "--|cProvided by publisher.
