This cute little baby MSS was handed in a few days ago, one of many donated by the Dembele family. It dates from 1719, and it is a pocket handbook of spells- or perhaps prayers, depending on how one sees it- with the purpose of getting on in one's professional life. It puts down, word by word, the incantations necessary in order to get a promotion!
