Newberry is including them as part of a larger exhibition, “Religious Change: 1450-1700” scheduled to open in September. “Ultimately, the crowdsourced contributions are making these manuscripts more accessible to researchers and they’re setting the stage for fresh insights about the coexistence of Christianity and magic as well as the role that religion played in private and public life in the 16th and 17th centuries,” Alex Teller, director of communications for Newberry Library, told Chicagoist.Īltogether, the texts contain 522 yellowed pages, with approximately 170 left to decode. The library believes multiple authors contributed as the pages go back and forth between print, cursive, Latin and English. The third text, “The Commonplace Book,” is a collection of religious and moral questions, along with passages from famous Christian authors.

So far experts have figured out that “The Book of Magical Charms” – written by two anonymous witches (probably) in England in the 1600s – contains spells to cheat at dice, ease menstrual cramps and speak with spirits.
