This object, a Talismanic Scroll dating from the 11th-century was discovered in Egypt and produced in the Fatimid Islamic Caliphate C. It resides in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art New York, NY [9] along with a number of other Medieval Islamic amulets and talismans that were donated to the museum by the Abemayor family in About 9 inches by 3 inches in size, the miniature paper scroll contains a combination of prayers and Quranic verses, and was created for placement in an amulet box.

This block print bears Kufic, the oldest calligraphic Arabic script, as well as Solomon's Seal, a star with six points that has been identified in a large number of Islamic art pieces of the period. Block printing was utilized as a technique through which to mass-produce talisman scrolls, hundreds of years before block printing was incorporated into European societies. The swastika, one of the oldest and most widespread talismans known, can be traced to the Stone Age , and has been found incised on stone implements of this era.

It can be found in all parts of the Old and New Worlds , and on the most prehistoric ruins and remnants. In spite of the assertion by some writers that it was used by the Egyptians, there is little evidence to suggest they used it and it has not been found among their remains. Both forms, with arms turned to the left and to the right, seem equally common. On the stone walls of the Buddhist caves of India, which feature many of the symbols, arms are often turned both ways in the same inscription.

The Renaissance scientific building Uraniborg has been interpreted as an astrological talisman to support the work and health of scholars working inside it, designed using Marsilio Ficino 's theorized mechanism for astrological influence. Length ratios that the designer, the astrologer and alchemist Tycho Brahe , worked into the building and its gardens match those that Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa associated with Jupiter and the sun.

This choice would have counteracted the believed tendency of scholars to be phlegmatic, melancholy and overly influenced by the planet Saturn. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
