Description
The following description was prepared by William Gross:
Printed on three pages, this amulet has its source from the Maharal of Prague. The person who brings it to the press states that it is tried and tested to save people who are involved in battles during war. He further states that it is also to be said before entering into negotiations or business dealings. These pages were apparently printed in Cluj, as there is an Orient nyomda listed as publishing in Cluj between 1931 and 1944. There was a large Hungarian-speaking population in this area of Romania.
