#041 - John of Morigny & the Science of Dreams with Dr. Claire Fanger

Dr. Claire Fanger is Associate Professor of Religion at Rice University and is a medievalist with a research focus on understandings and practices of Latin Christianity in the later Middle Ages, as well as a focus on texts and manuscripts of magic, especially angel magic in a Christian context. She is the editor of two field-defining collections on this very topic: Invoking Angels: Theurgic Ideas and Practices, Thirteenth to Sixteenth Centuries (published in 2012) and Conjuring Spirits: Texts and Traditions of Medieval Ritual Magic (published in 1998). She discusses her groundbreaking research into 14th century French benedictine monk, John of Morigny, and his important connection to the famous Ars Notoria text. She also talks about her research into prophecy, prayers and dreams, answers listener questions, and much more.
