==Etymology== | |||
Pruslas is named after a demon named Pruflas that is listed in the ''[[Wikipedia:Pseudomonarchia Daemonum|Pseudomonarchia Daemonum]]'', an appendix of demonology appearing in the book ''De praestigiis daemonum'' written in 1577 by Dutch physician and occultist Johann Weyer. Although Pruflas does not appear in the ''Ars Goetia'', he has an illustration in the ''Dictionnaire Infernal'' that corresponds to the demon Purson, who is the fourth demon listed in the Goetia. According to Johann Weyer, Pruflas is a great prince and duke of Hell who has 26 legions of demons under his command. He causes men to commit quarrels, discord, and falsehoods and should never be admitted into any place. However, it conjured, he gives generous and truthful answers to the conjurer. In the ''Dictionnaire Infernal'', Pruflas is depicted as a man with the face of a lion that is riding a bear and carrying a vicious viper in one hand and a trumpet in the other. | |||
