Recipe Details
Evidence
"They appear as miscellanies, multi-text composite manuscripts, in which most of the works contained are fragmentary, many acephalous, others incomplete, almost all untitled"
Remarks
These Yemenite codices (specifically MS ARA 139 and ARA 244) represent 'low', popular literature, characterized by 'extemporaneous production' (p. 82). MS ARA 139 bears dates of 1343/1925 and 1344/1925–1926 (p. 82). They serve as notebooks for occult practices and bear traces of protracted use (p. 82).
