Toward a Decan master list
The following is my attempt to collate a comparative list of Decanal names from various ancient sources, from Pharaonic Egypt to the Byzantine era. This is by no means exhaustive, but will hopefully prove useful. Blogger ruins tables, so I had to include them as images only. Thank you to Alison Chicosky, Ioannis Marathakis, Mogg Morgan, and Kerry Wisner for their invaluable assistance. ___________________ Table 1: Egyptian decans (Esna, Seti); Sacred Book of Hermes to Asclepius; Vosges Hermetic Tablets Table 2 : London Greek papyri, Hephaestion, Firmicus Maternus, Liber Hermetis Table 3: Celsus/Origen, Codex Vindobonensis, Aristobulus Table 4: Decanal demons from the Testament of Solomon Table 5: Gods ruling the Decans, according to Cosmas of Jerusalem Table 6: Egyptian Decans and their figures from the Dendera temple Column A lists their possible decanates based on their order, while B lists the attributions based on their names in comparison with the Seti/Esna lists....
