Context and method
Names and descriptions can vary across manuscripts, translations and later writers. Compare the name, number and source. Decan correspondences and pairings with angels may come from later systems rather than the same document.
How to study and use it
Search for a name and check the rank, legions and attributed offices recorded in the collection. Read them as descriptions made by the source. When studying a seal, compare its image with the edition used for the entry.
