I stumbled upon this drawing in an undated but likely 17th century manuscript of learned magic (from the Biblioteca Apostolica Vaticana MSS Ross. 987). This guy is referred to, in German, as the one all creatures obey. So have a closer look at him, #skystoriansdigi.vatlib.it/view/MSS_Ros...

Detail of a manuscript page (from https://digi.vatlib.it/view/MSS_Ross.987 ). A man with a beard is drawn.

Bit of artistic license going on there!😆

This is one of the many manuscripts playing with the topic of Jewish magic. There is written El shaddai and some Hebrew letters, which make no sense to me. Hopefully, God looks better than this guy in reality... 🤣
