The following is the most complex of the five spells; it is the only one written in Latin. The spell is preceded by “Yhs”, an abbreviation for “Yesus” / “Jesus”. The word to be spoken when performing the ritual is represented by an abbreviation that I have rendered as “n+” in my transcription: it likely stands for the name (“nomen”) of the person to whom the ritual is directed. A second abbreviation that I couldn’t read occurs twice in the text, but context makes the meaning more or less obvious.

Transcription: Yhs / Ad amorem / liber[?]

Recipe cera virginea et de ipsa fac b[ene] cuiuscumque vis

cum omnibus suis membris: postea habeas unum gallum

martiolinum si est homo, si erit mulier accipe galli-

nam, et extrae sibi cor, dicendo n+ continue suffimigationes

et eum ponas in ymagine loco cordis dicendo n+. postea

scribe in pectore ipsisus ymaginis nomen quem desideras cum

una acu nova: postea habeas novem acus novas

et ubi vis quod illa persona per quem feteris n+ doleat

pone unam infra[?] illis in illo loco in ymagine. et quando vis

ut non doleat […?] acum. et amplius non dolebit et

caveas ne tangas cor ipsius in ymagine. quia si tetigis

illum per quem n+ infallibiliter moriet incontinenti.

Translation: Jesus / For love [from a book?]

Take virgin wax and with it accurately reproduce [the figure of] the person you want

with all his/her limbs. Then take a cock

born in March[?], if the person is a man, or a hen, if a woman.

Extract its heart, saying “n+ [the name of the person]” and with continuous fumigations,

and put it in the place of the heart of the figure, saying “n+ [the name]”. Then

write on the chest of the figure the name of the person you desire, using a

new needle. Then take nine new needles.

If you want to cause pain to the person for whom you said “n+ [the name]”,

put one of those [needles] in the corresponding place in the figure; when you want

that the person stops suffering, remove[?] the needle; and the person will suffer no more.

Be careful not to touch the heart of the figure: if you touch the heart with it,

“n+” will infallibly and immediately die.
