Barbas
In demonology Barbas is a
Great President of Hell and governs thirty-six legions of demons. He answers
truly on hidden or secret things, causes and heals diseases, teaches
mechanical arts, and changes men into other shapes.
He is depicted as a great lion that under the conjurer's request changes shape
into a man.
The name Barbas seems to come from Latin 'barba', beard, hellebore (a plant
used in witchcraft, especially to invoke demons), and also a male name.
Other spelling: Marbas.
