Notes
- 1 ↩Latin surface 'Dominatioesn' is almost certainly a corrupt reading of 'Dominationes' (Dominions), matching the neighboring angelic-order list (Throni… Principatus).
- 2 ↩Es. read as the standard Latin abbreviation for Esaias (Isaiah), matching the following chapter number and the Isaiah 6 seraphim vision.
- 3 ↩vi. treated as the chapter numeral completing the Isaiah citation begun in s1 (Seraphim, Es. vi.).
- 4 ↩Reading 'Dsmoniis' as 'Daemoniis' (to/against demons); 'Daemoniis repugnare' = resisting demons.
