New Testament amulet
A New Testament amulet (also called a talisman) is an ancient hand-written portion of the New Testament, commonly worn as a charm. The Lord's Prayer is the most common text found on amulets. Also commonly found are the opening verses of each of the four New Testament gospels.

The numbering system begun by Ernst von Dobschütz for New Testament Greek Amulets assigned each recovered Amulet a Blackletter character 𝔗 (indicating Talisman) followed by a superscript number. Von Dobschütz continued the list through 𝔗9. The additional numbers assigned below continue this numbering in the order suggested by Brice C. Jones.[1]
