Short description
In the midst of the remarkable revival of interest and belief in angels comes this handsomely illustrated reference work--the fruit of 16 years of research in Talmudic, gnostic, cabalistic, apocalyptic, patristic, and legendary texts. "A wacky and wonderful compendium of angelic lore".--Time. Illustrations.
Review
Drawing mainly - and extensively - on the Christian and Jewish faiths, Davidson presents a compendium of all things angelic that is at once quirky and scholarly. Only the most knowledgeable readers will have any familiarity with more than a few of the hundreds of angels assembled here for our instruction and edification. A unique enterprise. (Kirkus UK)
