Description

The following description was prepared by William Gross:

This printed amulet is almost identical to another printed amulet printed in Munkascz that is in the gross collection, 027.011.031. It is unusual in that the amulet is based on kabbalah and that part of it is printed in Aramaic.  the top portion is from the rabbi Shimshon Astrapoli.  the bottom part is printed with the 42-letter name of god and its kabbalistic interpretation by the kabbalistic rabbi Marib" sh of most. This is an amulet for general protection and good luck. At the bottom, it is stated that this amulet was produced for rabbi zelig leib of Kuavagersch. It is absolutely identical to 027.011.086 except that it lacks the information about place of printing and publisher. It is most likely that it was done by the same printer in the same city, Vienna.
