Gog and Magog appear in the Book of Genesis, the Book of Ezekiel, the Book of Revelation, and the Qur'an. They are variously presented as men, supernatural beings (giants or demons), national groups, or lands. This thoughtful volume brings together eight essays describing how Gog and Magog, as archetypes of evil, have dwelt in our consciousness since their threatening appearance in the Bible and the Quran. Maps, literature and texts ranging from Medieval Europe, the Byzantine and Arab world, in Berber, Persian and Indonesian traditions, to contemporary internet texts: all use these imaginary monstrous creatures. The figures are constantly reinterpreted as the enemies of order change. Gog and Magog have been represented with dog heads and snake tongues. On the covers of contemporary Arab apocalyptic literature they are usually represented as giants or half-humans.

L'autore:

A. A. Seyed-Gohrab is a senior lecturer in Persian studies at Leiden University in the Netherlands and a fellow of the Young Academy of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences.

Dalla quarta di copertina:
Gog en Magog, als archetypen van het kwaad, spelen sinds hun verschijning in de Bijbel en de Koran een belangrijke rol. Van plattegronden tot literatuur en teksten, van middeleeuws Europa tot de Byzantijnse en Arabische wereld, van Berber tot Perzische en Indonesische tradities, en tot in het heden met teksten op internet: steeds weer komen deze monsterlijke wezens naar voren.

Deze 'Bijbelse' figuren worden in gezien als aankondigers van grote veranderingen, en worden afgebeeld met hondenhoofden en slangentongen. Op omslagen van de hedendaagse Arabische apocalyptische literatuur kunnen ze zowel reuzen als half-mensen zijn.

Dit deel in de serie 'Iranian Studies Series' onthult in acht essays het beeld van Gog en Magog zoals deze voorkomen in verschillende genres, variërend van eigentijdse folk-religie op het internet tot aan het rijke literaire erfgoed van de 'Alexander romances'.

- Dr. A.A. Seyed-Gohrab is track-leader van het Persian Studies programma aan de Universiteit Leiden.
- Dr. F. Doufikar-Aerts is onderzoeker een de Leiden School of Middle Eastern Studies.
- S. McGlinn is onafhankelijk wetenschapper en schrijft en vertaald op het gebied van Bahai studies, Iran studies en Islam studies.
