'''Gaap''' (also Tap, Coap, Taob, Goap) is a demon that is described in demonological grimoires such as the [[Lesser Key of Solomon]], Johann Weyer's ''[[Pseudomonarchia Daemonum]]'', and the ''[[Munich Manual of Demonic Magic]]'', as well as Jacques Collin de Plancy's ''[[Dictionnaire Infernal]]''. | '''Gaap''' (also '''Tap''', '''Coap''', '''Taob''', '''Goap''') is a demon that is described in demonological grimoires such as the [[Lesser Key of Solomon]], Johann Weyer's ''[[Pseudomonarchia Daemonum]]'', and the ''[[Munich Manual of Demonic Magic]]'', as well as Jacques Collin de Plancy's ''[[Dictionnaire Infernal]]''. | ||
These works describe Gaap as a prince in human form who incites love. The Munich Manual also says that "Taob" also provides medical care for women, transforms them to make it easier to get to a lover, renders them infertile, and rules twenty-five legions of spirits. The other sources instead describe Gaap as a president, giving him the power to teach philosophy and liberal arts, make others invisible, steal familiars from other magicians, make men stupid, and carry men between kingdoms; in addition to ruling sixty-six legions of demons. [[Johann Weyer]] also connects Gaap to necromancers, and states that he was first called upon by Noah's son Ham, along with Beleth. He was of the order of potestates. | These works describe Gaap as a prince in human form who incites love.
