. [1581] Cf. Macdonald, _Religious Attitude and Life in Islam_, Index, s.v. _Magic_. [1582] Daremberg and Saglio, _Dictionnaire des antiquites grecques et romaines_, article "Magia"; cf. articles "Medeia" and "Kirke" in Roscher's _Lexikon_. [1583] Apuleius, _Metamorphoses_; Gibbon, _Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire_, ii, 535 ff.; Friedlaender, _Roman Life and Manners under the Early Empire_ (Eng. tr.), i, 260 f.; Fowler, _The Religious Experience of the Roman People_, p. 57 ff.; cf. Cumont, _Astrology and Religion among the Greeks and Romans_, Index, s.v. _Magic_. [1584] 1 Sam. xxviii; Isa. viii, 19. [1585] In the later Judaism Solomon is the great master of magic; see the story of the Queen of Sheba in the Second Esther Targum; Baring-Gould, _Legends of Old Testament Characters_. For the Arabian legends of Solomon (borrowed from the Jews) see _Koran_, sura xxxviii; _History of Bilkis, Queen of Sheba_, compiled from various Arabic sources, in Socin's _Arabic Grammar_ (Eng. tr., 1885). [1586] Lecky, _History of the Rise and Influence of the Spirit of Rationalism in Europe_; Westermarck, _Origin and Development of the Moral Ideas_, Index, s.vv. _Magic_ and _Witches_. [1587] These Powers, including mana, may all be called "divine" as distinguished from the purely "human." [1588] A superhuman phenomenon, if produced by a deity, is called a "miracle," and is held to be beneficent; if produced by a nontheistic process, it is called "magical," and is looked at doubtfully. [1589] Cf. Westermarck, _Origin and Development of the Moral Ideas_, ii, 696; Hobhouse, _Morals in Evolution_, Index, s.v. _Magic and Morals_. [1590] Ultimately, in early religious theory, all objects are divine or abodes or incarnations of divine beings and capable of independent action; sometimes, doubtless, the recognition of the natural character of a thing (as of courage and other qualities in animals) coalesces with the belief in its guiding power. [1591] Cf. article "Magia" in Daremberg and Saglio, _Dictionnaire des antiquites grecques et romaines_, p. 1496. [1592] Rivers, _The Todas_, p. 254. [1593] Cf. article "Bantu" in Hastings, _Encyclopaedia of Religion and Ethics_, p. 358. [1594] 1 Sam. x, 5; xix, 24. [1595] Breasted, _History of Egypt_, p. 513 f.
