Sumiel -
In Voltaire, "Of Angels, Genii, and Devils," one of
the leaders of the fallen angels. Voltaire quotes Enoch as
his source, but no close equivalent for Sumiel
can be found in the Enoch books, unless Voltaire
had in mind Sammael
or Simapesiel
(q.v.). The name Sumiel
is found inscribed on an oriental charm (kamea)
for warding off evil. [Rf. Schrire,
Hebrew Amulets.]
