Abstract:Barbara A. Mowat's essay "Prospero's Book," published in Shakespeare Quarterly in 2001, discusses an Elizabethan manuscript conjuring book, a grimoire, in the Folger Shakespeare Library's collection that has significant relevance to Shakespeare through its obvious relation not only to The Tempest but also to A Midsummer Night's Dream, since one of the spirits raised through its spells is Oberon. "Secret Arts and Public Spectacles" contextualizes the Folger's grimoire through the much more mundane and ubiquitous books of secrets in the period, handbooks of "natural magic" that teach ordinary householders the arts that will enable them to protect their property, cure ailments, and especially, over and over, keep them safe from enchantment. Enchantment in these books is everywhere and is a constant danger. The Elizabethan world was full of magic.

秘密艺术和公共眼镜：伊丽莎白时代魔法的参数

摘要：Barbara A. Mowat 于 2001 年发表在 Shakespeare Quarterly 上的文章“Prospero's Book”讨论了 Folger Shakespeare 图书馆馆藏中伊丽莎白时代的手稿魔法书，它与莎士比亚有着重要的关联，不仅与暴风雨有着明显的关系还有仲夏夜之梦，因为通过它的咒语复活的灵魂之一是奥伯伦。“秘密艺术与公共景观”通过在那个时期更为平凡和无处不在的秘密书籍、“自然魔法”手册向普通家庭教授传授使他们能够保护自己的财产、治疗疾病和尤其是，一遍又一遍地保护它们免受附魔的伤害。这些书中的结界无处不在，而且是一种持续的危险。伊丽莎白时代的世界充满了魔力。
