- The Rise of Magic in Early Medieval Europe is a historical study of magical beliefs in Europe between the 5th and 12th centuries CE. It was written by the English historian Valerie I.J. Flint, then of the University of Auckland, and published by Princeton University Press in 1991. Flint's main argument is that while some major governments in early medieval Europe, influenced by the example set by the former Roman Empire, tried to suppress the practice of magic, eventually it experienced a revival and came to flourish, encouraged by a new belief that it could be beneficial for humanity. Divided into four parts, in the book's introductory section, Flint discusses the source material that she is drawing from, and offers an overview of the view of magic that medieval society inherited from both the Classical world and the Judeo-Christian tradition. Flint's book would come to be recognised as the most authoritative study of the subject of early medieval magic across Europe. (en)

- "[This book] is about a double process. One, firstly, of a rejection of magia, a rejection shared both by imperial Rome and by many of its most powerful medieval heirs; and then, and centrally, a complex second one of the second thoughts of some of Rome's early medieval successors. These second thoughts led, I shall attempt here to prove, not merely to the halting of the process of rejection and to the tolerance of certain "magical" survivals, but to the active rescue, preservation, and encouragement of very many of these last; and for all the furtherance of the relationship between people and the supernatural that, it was fervently believed, would improve human life."
