The idea of demonology had remained strong in the Renaissance, and several demonological grimoires were published, including The Fourth Book of Occult Philosophy which falsely claimed to having been authored by Agrippa, and the Pseudomonarchia Daemonum, which listed sixty-nine different demons.

Much the same description is found in the earlier text of Johann Weyer's catalog of demons, Pseudomonarchia Daemonum ( published 1563 ).

He is the 8th demon in The Lesser Key of Solomon, while Pseudomonarchia Daemonum listed him as the 6th demon.

It appeared in the 17th century, but much was taken from texts of the 16th century, including the Pseudomonarchia Daemonum, by Johann Weyer, and late-medieval grimoires.

The lists of entities in the Ars Goetia correspond ( to high but varying degree, often according to edition ) with those in Johann Weyer's Pseudomonarchia Daemonum, an appendix appearing in later editions of his De Praestigiis Daemonum, of 1563.

The demons ' names ( given below ) are taken from the Ars Goetia, which differs in terms of number and ranking from the Pseudomonarchia Daemonum of Weyer.

The lists of entities in the Ars Goetia correspond ( to high but varying degree, often according to edition ) with those in Johann Weyer's Pseudomonarchia Daemonum an appendix appearing in later editions of his De Praestigiis Daemonum, of 1563.

According to Pseudomonarchia Daemonum Ham, Noah's son, was the first in invoking him after the flood, and wrote a book on Mathematics with his help.

* Pseudomonarchia Daemonum

According to Pseudomonarchia Daemonum he is the King of the West, although for some translations of The Lesser Key of Solomon he is King of the East ( Although some translations of The Lesser Key of Solomon consider Belial, Beleth, Asmodai and Gaap kings of the four cardinal directions, though not giving detail on the cardinal point each rule ).

Pseudomonarchia Daemonum, or Hierarchy of Demons first appears as an Appendix to Johann Weyer's De praestigiis daemonum ( 1577 ).

Pseudomonarchia Daemonum does not attribute seals to the demons, as The Lesser Key of Solomon does.

In demonology, Bathin is a duke ( Great Duke according to Pseudomonarchia Daemonum ) of Hell, who has under his command thirty legions of demons.

* Pseudomonarchia Daemonum

Buer is a spirit that appears in the 16th century grimoire Pseudomonarchia Daemonum and its derivatives, where he is described as a Great President of Hell, having fifty legions of demons under his command.

Some scholars have said that Weyer intended to mock the concept of the hellish hierarchy that previous grimoires had established by writing those two books and entitling his catalogue of demons Pseudomonarchia Daemonum ( The False Kingdom of the Demons ).

Moreover, Weyer did not only write the catalogue of demons Pseudomonarchia Daemonum, but also gave their description and the conjurations to invoke them in the appropriate hour and in the name of God and the Trinity, not to create illusions but to oblige them to do the conjurer's will, as well as advice on how to avoid certain perils and tricks if the demon was reluctant to do what he was commanded or a liar.

There were many editions of his books ( written in Latin ), especially Pseudomonarchia Daemonum, and several adaptations in English, including Reginald Scot's Discoverie of Witchcraft ( 1584 ).

* Pseudomonarchia Daemonum

This profile of the demon can be seen in Pseudomonarchia Daemonum ( Johann Weyer, 1577 ) as well as in Goetia ( S. L.

* Pseudomonarchia Daemonum

Collin de Plancy followed the tradition of many previous demonologists of cataloguing demons by name and title of nobility, as it happened with grimoires like Pseudomonarchia Daemonum, and The Lesser Key of Solomon among others.

Unlike later grimoires such as the Pseudomonarchia Daemonum ( 16th century ) or the Lemegeton ( 17th century ), the Key of Solomon does not mention the signature of the seventy-two spirits constrained by King Solomon in a bronze vessel.

* Johann Weyer Pseudomonarchia Daemonum ( 1577 )

Johann Wier's Pseudomonarchia Daemonum describes this spirit as follows:

In demonology, and according to Johann Weyer and his Pseudomonarchia Daemonum, Pruflas is a Great Prince and Duke of Hell that has twenty-six legions of demons under his command.

and according to Johann Wier's Pseudomonarchia daemonum:

-Johann Weyer, from the Pseudomonarchia Daemonum.

He is, according to The Lesser Key of Solomon, the king and prince of the southern region of Hell and Earth, and according to the Pseudomonarchia Daemonum ( False Monarchy of the Demons ) the king of the western region and as mighty as Beleth, but for both he is the guide of the four kings ( the others being Ziminiar, Corson and Amaymon, although some translations of The Lesser Key of Solomon consider Belial, Beleth, Asmodai and Gaap, not giving detail on the cardinal point they rule ).

In demonology, Ose is a Great President of Hell, ruling three legions of demons ( thirty to other authors, and Pseudomonarchia Daemonum gives no number of legions ).

He is the king of the west according to some translations of The Lesser Key of Solomon and king of the south according to Pseudomonarchia Daemonum.

He is the king of the north according both to The Lesser Key of Solomon and Pseudomonarchia Daemonum.

Pseudomonarchia Daemonum does not attribute seals to the demons.

The author of The Lesser Key of Solomon copied Pseudomonarchia Daemonum almost completely, but added demons ' descriptions, their seals and details.

Other, later books ( Pseudomonarchia Daemonum ) manage to fit far more demons in it.

Some grimoires like The Great Book of Saint Cyprian, Le Dragon Rouge, Pseudomonarchia Daemonum and The Lesser Key of Solomon ( see Ars Goetia ) among others provide us of more of these names.

Nevertheless, while he defended the idea that the Devil's power was not as strong as claimed by the orthodox Christian churches in De Praestigiis Daemonum, he defended also the idea that demons did have power and could appear before people who called upon them, creating illusions ; but he commonly referred to magicians and not to witches when speaking about people who could create illusions, saying they were heretics who were using the Devil's power to do it, and when speaking on witches, he used the term mentally ill.
