Notes on Some Greek Magical Gems in New England	2013	24	.pdf	application/pdf	7875	259	63	symbols BM 555 1.5x2.1 gold yes text & no Neuzeitlich polished (both) symbols translucent Harvard 4.9x4.02 cloudy-brown barely only text yes Neuzeit 1969.189 polished (both) & symbols (3) translucent διαφυλάξατε In her discussion of Harvard 1969.189, Michel (SMG 143) summarized her suspicions of this group as follows: (i) the type of transparent brown-gold chalcedony used in these amulets is untypical; (ii) the large dimensions and the shape of the gems— single or double convex—is unusual; and (iii) the exceptionally long Jewish and Gnostic texts they contain are only seldom seen on other magical gems. I would conclude, then, that these large, text-only, convex chal- cedony amulets represent a subset of the Greek magical gems, a subset that has more in common with textual amulets on metal and papyri than it does with other magical gems.	cache/grbs-14741.pdf	txt/grbs-14741.txt
