Original Recipe Text

Evidence
"It is made of cotton-based paper, which began being made in Játiva, in the province of Valencia, sometime before the mid-twelfth century."
Remarks
The sample is from the Tonegawa Collection (TP1-1) in Madrid (p. 19). It was folded many times to fit inside a small lead case (p. 9). This production method and material imply the amulet was used by those who were poor or not literate enough to afford custom handwritten amulets (p. 10).
