A dog with a gryphon’s wings offers immediate learning and invisibility. Glasya-Labolas is also called an author of bloodshed and manslaughter, bringing violence into the same notice as knowledge and the love of friends and enemies. [1]
Goetia 1904
Glasya-Labolas appears as a dog with wings like a gryphon’s. He teaches arts and sciences in an instant and declares past and future matters. The Goetia also calls him an author of bloodshed and manslaughter. [1]
At request he causes love among friends and foes, and he can make a person invisible. He holds the paired ranks of president and earl and commands thirty-six legions. [1]
Scot prints the alternative names Caacrinolaas and Caassimolar and calls Glasya Labolas a president, without the additional earl’s title. His account names present and future knowledge where the Goetia has past and future. Its violent office is expressed as captain of manslayers. [1][2]
