Evidence
"the textual amulet described in the recipe for the falling gout in Takamiya MS 46 is made neither of parchment nor of paper, and although its text is extremely short, it is nevertheless clearly a manuscript."
Remarks
The paper explores the materiality of charms in late-medieval England, focusing on cases where words are written on non-traditional surfaces like a loveache root (Levisticum officinale). The author emphasizes that these textual amulets, though not on parchment or paper, are still considered manuscripts. These items could be carried, ingested, or ritually destroyed. (p. 1)
