The Pseudomonarchia Daemonum is an index of demons that appeared in Johann Weyer's Praestigiis Daemonum. It is the primary source for the demons listed in many other grimoires, including the Lesser Key of Solomon. The demon Prufals appears only in the the Pseudomonachia and not in the Goetia.
Weyer censored the text, omitting necessary parts of the rituals and the more powerful demons, like Lucifer, in order to protect readers from their own curiosity.
