Digital facsimile of manuscript Jarring Prov. 406

Annotated Turki Manuscripts from the Jarring Collection Online (ATMO)

Test edition 2022-05-10

Lund University Library Jarring Prov. 406

Contents

Composite volume of Eastern Turki manuscript

Old number 7. The ms. belongs to the category of books being used by the soothsayers and magicians (duakhon) in their profession. Contents
1) ff. 1b-4b Various prayers
2) ff. 5b-20a An explanation of the risale of the farmers. Other copies: Prov. 2:2, 396:4, 400:5
3) ff. 20b-31b Other copies: Prov. 405:5
4) ff. 32a-42a Containing interpretations of the magic meaning of the days of the months, amulets etc
5) ff. 42b-48b
6) ff. 49a-54b Other copies: Zetterstéen 550
7) ff. 54b-55b Incantations of the Moslem genii

9) ff. 56b-57a Incantations of the genii of the fire-worshippers
10) ff. 57b-58b Incantations of the genii of the infidels (heathens). For 406:7-10 cf. Katanov and Menges, Volkskundliche Texte aus Ost-Türkistan I (1933), p. 92-99 with similar texts. I suspect Menges' dzohot "Jewish" (p. 96) to be a mistake for mogh "fire-worshippers" especially as the texts speaks of fires and flames
11) ff. 58b-77a Prayers against headache, prayers to be read when someone has been unable to sell a certain thing etc. etc.; various formula and amulets
