Talismans for Travel, Treasure and Familiar Spirits
Four circular devices occupy separate compartments beneath handwritten descriptions. The headings associate them with travel by sea and land, finding treasure, familiar spirits and dangers during travel. Letters, planetary signs and intersecting strokes distinguish the designs. Raphael’s manuscript presents these as talismanic claims, using a repeated ring to organise their different stated purposes.
