Evidence
"The two unpublished Mamluk scrolls from Dar Al-Athar Al-Islamiyyah are long beautiful handwritten scrolls that provide a perspective on how the occult is part of the daily life of the practitioner"
Remarks
Chapter Three, titled 'In Color, The Art of the Talismanic,' provides a focused study of these two scrolls (p. 8). LNS 12 MS includes specific charms such as 'Li-ramī al-nashāb' (for the casting of arrows) and 'Ibṭāl al-siḥr' (for annulling magic) (p. 15).
