Through the generous help of my friend QiRui Huo I accessed a wonderful manuscript that seems to be the original from which the previously treated manuscript was copied, namely Badische Landesbibliothek Karlsruhe Manuscript Bernus 98.
To illustrate the affinty between the two works, I ve cleaned up a few images.
Work is extremely slow as my daily bookbinding work exhausts me more and more and the images themselves are quite problematic because of the ink bleeds, but hopefully in a few months I ll get it done.

Bernus
Even the most amateur researcher of talismanic art could see that badly drawn lines and approzimate Hebrew letters of the Neureppin Witch Book always correspond to a better version in the Bernus manuscript.

Fingers crossed.
