One of the seventy-two demons named in the Goetia. In Scot's Discoverie of Witchcraft, Sabnock is said to appear in the form of an armed soldier with the head of a lion. He rides a pale horse, as do many of the demons associated with the Goetia. Wierus's Pseudomonarchia Daemonum spells his name Sabnac. In the Welsh Book of Incantations, his name is given as Sabnack. As his appearance suggests, he is a martial demon. He has the power to build castles, cities, and high towers full of weapons. He can inflict putrid wounds full of maggots that last for a span of thirty days. In addition, he is said to be able to change people's forms and give familiar spirits. Holding the rank of marquis, he commands a total of fifty legions. Alternative forms of his name include Salmac, Sabnacke, and Sabnach. According to Goetia of Dr. Rudd, he is ruled by the angel Vevaliah. See also BOOK OF INCANTATIONS, GOETIA, RUDD, SCOT, WIERUS.
