Curious Arts: (Acts 19:19) magical arts; jugglery practised by the Ephesian
conjurers. Ephesus was noted for its wizard and the "Ephesian
spells;" i.e., charms or scraps of parchment written over with
certain formula, which were worn as a safeguard against all manner of
evils. The more important and powerful of these charms were written
out in books which circulated among the exorcists, and were sold at a
great price.
