Newberry Library: help needed with 17th Century Magical Text

Newberry Library are asking members of the public to transcribe the manuscript, which can be read here:

It is a commonplace book, compiled by Robert Ashley (1565-1641).  In addition to a series of written charms, it also has recipes and extracts from printed books.

Any information you have on the information relating to spirits, conjurations would be gratefully received!  Please email your thoughts to:  museumwitchcraft@aol.com
