De furtu. Il più antico incantesimo di area tedesca per riconoscere il ladro: eredità e contesto culturale
No full textDe furto (Clm. 536 Bayerische Staatsbibliothek München, f. 89v) is written in the same 12th c. manuscript containing the famous Prüller Herbal and Prüller Lapidary, as well as a MHG worm charm. The MHG theft charm can be probably dated 13th c. The text includes directions for performance and the use of a Zaubersieb in order to find out the thief.

The Pervinca Charm: A Medieval German Love Charm
Full text linkThe Pervinca love charm is a 15th century German text, preserved in clm. 7021, ff. 165v-166r. This article is the first attempt to provide a complete transcription of it, a translation and a description of its content. The Pervinca charm displays a perfectly coherent rhetorical structure enriched by Christian images of bright- ness and fire; the structure lays on a large set of non-Christian motifs, like: “as the wax melts, let N. melt / neither eat nor drink / neither sleep nor be awake”, as well as on ancient rituals with silver, gold, salt and wax. The theological frame gives even more power to the Pervinca, whose (Latin) name is here the key device of its irresistible magical power. A part of this charm is based on ancient curses and maledictions meant as a punishment if the beloved tried to resist the love charm. The performer needs the efficacy of the Pervinca in order to gain emotional, physical and mental power over a woman

No full textNeumes in Three Old High German Charms
No full textAd pestem equi, Ad equum infusum and Crist unte Iudas are three Old High German charms of the twelfth century that display various signs between the lines that can be identified with neumatic notation. The charms are integrated into two manuscripts collections of healing remedies, and they are the only texts displaying neumes. Ad pestem equi and Ad equum infusum are written in the margins of Vatican City, (BAV) Cod. pal. lat. 1158; Crist unde Iudas is in MS. Bamberg, (Staatsbibliothek) Msc. Med. 6. Nobody would be surprised to know that some charms were sung, or that there should have been an oral performance connected to them, yet this can be considered the first textual evidence of this idea. This essay provides a description of the neumes and a new edition and interpretation of the three charms
