  Sefer ha-Razim compiled by Moses ben Jacob ben Mordecai (Greece, 1468). The Book of Secrets is a compendium of magic spells. The main body of the text is written in Byzantine Hebrew script, which "may have been influenced by Greek script," but this MS. is especially notable as evidence of the medieval use, for kabbalistic incantation, of the "angelic script," derived from the Paleo-Hebrew (Samaritan) alphabet.
