Thesis 28.2

Latin

Nouem sunt angelorum hierarchiae_quarum nomina Cherubim, Seraphim, Hasmalim, Haiot, Aralim, Tarsisim, Ophanim, Tephsarim, Isim.

Copy-text: Farmer 1998, line 17536

Apparatus (Farmer): 1486 nomina.Cherubim.Seraphim.Hasmalim ... etc. | 1487 hagot | 1486, 1487 Tephsraim

1486 punctuates 'nomina.Cherubim.Seraphim.Hasmalim...' etc.; 1487 reads 'hagot' for 'Haiot'; both 1486 and 1487 read 'Tephsraim' for 'Tephsarim' (farmer1998:17552).

English

Nine angelic hierarchies exist, called by these names: Cherubim, Seraphim, Hasmalim, Haiot, Aralim, Tarsisim, Ophanim, Tephsarim, Isim.

The Hebrew angel-names are left as Pico's own Latin transliteration, untranslated; the surrounding sentence is recast since the nine proper names cannot themselves be reworded; sense checked against farmer1998:17590.

Attribution: reported according to the secret doctrine of the Hebrew Cabalist wise men (section 28 of the historical theses) · Pico's stance: reports
