Zuriel (1)

  1. ZURIEL, the Name of an Angel, known only in the Books of the Jews, and in the Apocryphal Writings. The Hebrews say, that he is one of those who always see the Face of God, who are in his Presence, and whom he sends upon his most important Messages. I imagine Suriel to be the same as Uriel: He is invoked in the Oriental Liturgies. See M. Renaudot, T. 1. Liturg. Orient. p. 293. See URIEL, before.
