Zuriel is mentioned in many [[grimoire]]s from the 1500s onward. His name first appears in print in ''[[Three Books of Occult Philosophy]]'' (1531), but must have come from an older, unidentified source. The ''[[Magical Calendar]]'' (1619) marks the earliest publication of his summoning seal. ''Arsenal Manuscript 2495'' (1600s) contains the earliest known explanation of the angel's abilities, although this text likely utilized an older source. | Zuriel is mentioned in many [[grimoire]]s from the 1500s onward.

Additionally, ''MS Harley 6482'', published more recently as ''A Treatise of Angel Magic'', from an older document by [[Thomas Rudd]] (1583-1656) around 1699 also features the spirit. This was in turn copied by [[John Heydon]] in his book ''[[Theomagia]]'' (1663). Here he is placed under the rulership of [[Kedemel]]. | |||
