abstract:
Simon Magus, who is known from the Acts of the Apostles (8 :9-24), the Actus Petri cum Simone (Acts of Peter), and the Passio Sanctorum Apostolorum Petri et Pauli (passio), was used metaphorically and typologically by the Church to censure immoral behavior; doctrinal heresy, and magic and witchcraft. We also witness from the Early Christian era to the end of the Middle Ages the emergence of traditions about Simon Magus that are primarily based upon canonical and apocryphal texts and those that are wholly independent of these sources. The intent of this article is to provide an overview of the traditions, the research done up to now, and the work that remains to be carried out on Simon Magus.
