Names in Dee’s records are easy to lift from their dated conversations and arrange as an undifferentiated list of “Enochian angels.” Nalvage and Madimi need a closer approach. They occur in different portions of the surviving record, while the circular Table of Nalvage is a reported object rather than another angel. These guides identify the witness, date, and limits of each claim.

Manuscript, print, and reconstruction
The British Library catalogues Sloane MS 3188 as an earlier set of conferences. Cotton MS Appendix XLVI holds later diary material that Meric Casaubon published in 1659. A searchable modern transcription makes a passage easy to find; it is not the same physical witness as either manuscript or the seventeenth-century volume. A modern diagram or name list may make another selection again.
These pages summarize the reported conversations as historical texts. The manuscripts establish that an account was written; they do not independently establish the existence of the beings described. For the larger lettered Great Table, begin with the Great Table guide. For the language and text of the Keys, continue to the Calls. The named voices here do not form a complete register of the ninety-one earthly governors.
