Summary
| Description |
English: Only the upper left corner of this page has survived. The text, which includes a passage reading "the heart of the one who wears it," together with the evidence of folds on the paper point to its original use as a talisman to be carried in an amulet box that was worn as a pendant. Both the foliated Kufic inscription in black ink and the cursive calligraphy in red ink are block printed.
Inscription: - Across top in foliated kufic: In the name of God / the Merciful, the Compassionate - In middle of page (later addition) in naskh in red ink: Help from God and near Victory), sura 61, verse 13 - In corners of bottom left square in naskh: Sufficient - healing - Fulfilling - (?), the four divine names - Outer circular band of bottom left square in naskh: Living...the eternity of His kingdom and His duration...the heart of the one who wears it - Inner circular band in naskh: He knows everything and is powerful and capable [to do] everything); - Bottom right rectangle, seven lines in naskh: ...noble...is useful, when God most High willeth...cold and migrane and blows...the children and for female demons and for love and acceptance...the kings and rulers and jusges...the enobled...daily bread and for hilt of the sword and ...horses and journey, day and night...and for annihilation of witchcraft (Translation of inscriptions by Annemarie Schimmel, Sept. 1985) https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/452762 |
