Buyer's premium:

Professional, nice manuscript with gematriya, illustrations, charts, oaths, and angelic names for safeguarding oneself from an enemy, for health, success, some with comments like “effective”, “tried and tested,” “it will heal”, and more. The manuscript was used by an expert on practical kabbalah, or so it seems by the number of small pages placed inside the manuscript containing the handwritten results of the various operations. Part of the manuscript is written in Judeo-Arabic. Many holy names throughout the manuscript. Compatible with central Yemen in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. We were unable to identify the copier or the object owner. Disassembled sheets, some of the pages are detached. The manuscript starts from p. 27 and goes until p. 180. And another section is unnumbered. Total 385 handwritten pages. 12.5×10 cm. Slight tears. Stains and signs of use. Good general condition.
