As for what follows, this is a recommended and blessed summary of omens, which is the lottery of the sons, the arrow of the pious, and the slogan of the pure. Whoever doubts it has disbelieved, etc. The text after this occupies only half a page.Fol. 54a has various instructions on talismans, under the title Bab al-Mahib. Similar items are found on fol. 2b.Fols. 4-7a also contain matters of talismanic nature, including those against heart ache.Fols. 6a-7a contain more unusual talismanic matters, relating to the seven days of the week and with invocations to very strange names. Here the title is: Chapter on the revelation of the spirituality of the seven stars, which are the angels who hold the corners of the seven earths. So know that and keep it secret until Sunday, saying, “I love you, Ruqeel, to make Himas Mabdoulash, Hammas, Btyalish, etc.” | None
