Record summary
Sefer Raziel HaMalakh is a medieval Hebrew compilation combining cosmology, angelology, astrology, divine names, calendrical material, amulets, and ritual instructions. It offers a concrete comparison point for traditions that link altered consciousness, revelation, protective practice, and claims of hidden knowledge. The work is not a single late antique document: its contents have multiple sources, its attribution to the angel Raziel is traditional, and printed versions can obscure manuscript variation. Researchers should distinguish historical claims from ritual instructions and later editorial layers.
