Buxtorf. Lexicon. Rabinic. in Samael.SAMMAEL, an evil Angel, of which the Rabbins relate many things: They say, he deceived Eve, mounted upon the old Serpent; That he is the Angel of the Dead, the Prince of the Air, the Chief of the Demons. Other Rabbins look upon him as the Prince of the Angels, and believe he is to preside at the Last Judgment; for which Reason, they make him Offerings on the Day of solemn Expiation, to appease his Anger.
