Gollancz lists nine Kandariri, talismans described as revealed to King Solomon, at folios 48a–49a. The facsimile of leaf 49a arranges them in three rows of three, each within a double circle. [1]

One of the nine Kandariri, identified in Gollancz’s contents as talismans revealed to King Solomon.
The nine-talisman section
Gollancz’s contents name the sanctity of nine Kandariri, glossed as talismans revealed to King Solomon, at folios 48a–49a. The photographed leaf 49a brings them together in three rows of three. Their double-circle boundaries are alike, while Hebrew word groups, crosses, radiating figures and other character structures vary within them. [1]
A comparison of designs
Writing and geometry occupy different proportions of these figures. Some centres are built around a cross or a radiating wheel; others are dominated by elongated characters, Hebrew word groups or rows of small circular marks. The leaf makes that variation visible without assigning the nine a seven-planet order comparable to Mathers’s sequence. [1]
The larger Hebrew compilation
The Kandariri form one named section of a larger Hebrew compilation. Gollancz’s contents also identify a Divine Seal, garment pentacles, names and seals from the Book of the Angel Rasiel, BILT, spirit seals and a seal of terrestrial spirits. The ninefold group has its own boundary within that broader arrangement. [1]
