During the 19th and early 20th centuries, the subject of medicine progressed rapidly. But still there existed the time honored traditions and formulas that were drawn from experience and tradition. Both science and tradition are represented in the publication of many books regarding medicine and cures of ailments. There are still many items that today would be considered amuletic. This one of those volumes.
This book is one of the few early books printed about amulets, practical Kabbalah and Refuot in addition to Raziel Hamalach. This is the eighth edition of the volume, the first edition having been printed in Zolkiew in 1710. There is a copy from Lemberg, 1800, also in the Gross Family Collection, B.1975.
