Also recorded as Ronové
Teaching rhetoric and languages, giving good servants, and obtaining favour with friends and enemies. [1]
Goetia 1904
Scot’s Ronove already bears the paired titles marquis and earl, commands nineteen legions and appears as a monster. The earlier passage supplies no further anatomical features. Its office names exceptional understanding of rhetoric, faithful servants, languages and favour from friends and enemies. [2][1]
Rhetoric and languages equip a person to speak; faithful servants and favour from friends and enemies concern the household and its relationships. The Goetia retains this combination of speech, service and goodwill. Ronove’s brief notice consequently corresponds closely across the two catalogues, despite giving little detail about the monster’s body. [2][1]
