On the other side of the leaf is another amulet, whose border is chiefly yellow. On the top there is a vase with flowers. Below the vase is the statement in Hebrew, "in the name of the God of Israel". The text continues with the tale of the prophet Elijah's encounter with the evil spirit Lilith and how he manages to vanquish her.

Amulet, manuscript, ink on vellum. This amulet includes the names of the angels Michael, Gabriel, Raphael, and Uriel in each corner and prayers for protection from the many dangers that threaten life such as childbirth, fire and water. What is of particular interest is that it also contains a special prayer for the protection of love and lovers addressed to the angel Ahavi'el (loosely translated as God is my beloved). On the four corners are kabbalistic diagrams in the form of a square with grids. In the center are also kabbalistic formulae in micrography in the shape of a circle

Description:
Manuscripts on vellum; written in humanistic cursive in Latin and Italian. Each volume shows a different and particular hand of execution with regard to illumination as well as to writing., Binding: each volume bound in white vellum over boards., Pages numbered in black ink, upper left verso and right recto; leaves on volume 6 numbered on upper right recto., Title devised by cataloger., Numbering: volume 1: 33 pages (pages 31-33 blank); volume 2: 90 pages (page 90 blank); volume 3: 56 pages (page 56 blank); volume 4: 52 pages (pages 50-52 blank); volume 5: 118 pages (pages 117-118 blank) ; volume 6: 56 leaves., The first page of each volume has the emblem of Venice and the coat of arms of the appointee for governership within a decorative border. The appointee's coat of arms is at bottom, while the winged Lion of Saint Mark is in the upper field. That the Lion is poised on both earth and water is significant: its stance alludes to Venice's power on land and sea. The beast also holds an open book, which refers to Venice's legendary association with Saint Mark the Evangelist. Also notable in the decorative border of volume 3 are the Angel Gabriel and Virgin Mary at upper left and right corners, two bishop saints at center left and right, and Saint Francis of Assisi and Anthony of Egypt at lower left and right corners. All volumes have colored and calligraphed initials on first pages and colored capitals in text in colors throughout volumes., Also available in original print http://morris.law.yale.edu/record=b451623, Digital reproduction.
