IMAGE number: BL3295419
Image title: (Whole roll). On the roll is text containing prayers based on the thirty-nine names of Christ, image-base talismans; and, iconography from the Passion, these being the measured crucifix; the measured wound of Christ and the measured representations of the nails of the Passion. There are red and green diagrams, all based on circles, which are related to diagrams found in collections of incantations such as those of the Book of Honorius. Within the circles are figures that comprise variations on the cross and resemble amulets carved in stone; such amulets protect against storms, drowning, and 'dangerous manufactured goods'. The scribe used rubrics and decorated initials to mark the beginnings of the seventeen separate sections, as well as rows of red and green Xs
