On Beş Sabit Yıldız Üzerine

In the next place, from the operations of the fixed stars, according to the opinion of Hermes, under the head of Algol, one used to make an image whose figure was the head of a man with a long beard, having a bloodied neck. It is said to confer the outcomes of petitions, to render the wearer bold and magnanimous, to preserve the limbs of the body unharmed, to provide protection against curses, and to reflect bad attempts and evil incantations back onto the adversary. Under the star of the Pleiades, one used to make the image of a virgin maiden, or the figure of a lamp. It is said to increase the light of the eyes, to aggregate demons, to summon winds, and to reveal secrets and hidden things. Under Aldebaran, they made an image in the likeness of God or a flying man; it confers riches and honor. Under the Goat, they made an image whose figure was like a man wanting to rejoice in musical instruments; it makes the wearer gracious, honored, and exalted before kings and princes, and it confers relief against toothache. Under the Heart of the Lion, they made the image of a lion, or a cat, or the figure of an honored man sitting on a chair. It renders a man temperate, takes away anger, and gives grace.
