Notes
Two sets of instructions for making talismans. The first set gives instructions for solar talismans to be made at the arrival of the Sun in each of the twelve signs of the zodiac. The second set gives instructions for making a talisman of Jupiter.
This text is numbered 7 (ز) in the present collection, and is followed by two short notes on the equinoxes and solstices and on the associations between the seven geographical climes and the seven planets (f. 93v, lines 4-14).
Contents:
(1) Inscribing talismans of the Sun at its arrival in the twelve signs (نقش طلسمات الشمس بحلولها في البروج الاثنى عشر, ff. 90r-92v);
(2) A second talisman for the acquisition of wealth, abundance of fortune and divine assistance (الطلسم الثاني لاكتساب المال وسعة الرزق وحسن المغيث, ff. 92v-93v);
Begins (f. 90r, lines 10-12):
... إذا نزلت الشمس
أول درجة من الحمل فخذ قطعة هذب
وانقش عليها رأس وعليه تاج ...
Ends (f. 93v, lines 1-3):
... واجعل فيه خيط إبريسم فإذا فعلت ذلك
فقد تم عملك فحينئذ لا يتقلد بلوح أحدًا (!) إلا وكان
سعيدًا واسع الرزق طيب العيش والسلام
