[An alherce (magical recipe) contained in the Misceláneo de Salomón]

We offer the Arabic text and a translation with comments of an alherce contained in a manuscript entitled Miscelaneo de Salomón, which was found in Ocaña, Toledo. This book belonged to an Alfaquí of the area, who used it to provide spiritual and physical support to the Mudejars with whom he lived. The alherce presented here contains invocations and spells and was used for medical and various other purposes.
