The project aims to study magical drawings and designs in the corpus of magical formularies. The database is an effort of systematization to grant access to all the essential information to interpret magical drawings in its contexts and in relation to other magical designs. It is a practical tool that will allow people interested in magical rituals to obtain the material, textual, and iconographical information of all the drawings appearing in magical formularies, to facilitate the comprehension of the magical prescription as a whole. This project was started granted by the BBVA Foundation Grants for Researchers and Cultural Creators and funded by the BBVA Foundation in 2015. Its development is part of the results of the project "Interpretación y análisis de los textos en papiro de las colecciones españolas: sociedad, religión y derecho" financed by the Ministry of Sciences and Innovation and the project “Transmission of Magical Knowledge. The Papyrus Magical Handbooks in Context” funded by Neubauer Collegium at the University of Chicago.
