Abstract

The article presents magical prayers employed in post-Byzantine manuscripts from Athenian Library of Historical and Ethnological Association of 18th-19th centuries, in order to ensure protection against impotence and a happy coupledom. Here, biblical and liturgical texts are often quoted in closer relation to official life of Greek-Orthodoxe Church. A formulary shows not trivial knowledge of medical plants and their uses, especially with anxiolytic effects.
