Whether it was this quick Aziel, or Astaroth himself, who became Faustus's travelling-companion under the name of Mephistopheles, or whether the prince of the lower regions in person condescended to play that part, we do not know; but in all popular stories of the Doctor, his servant bears the latter name, while in the various books in which, under the name of Hoellenzwang, the system of his magic is laid down, he is called Aziel.
Some books seem to have been published by Faustus during his lifetime, at least, his biographers allude to them; but it was only after his death that the work which gave his name its chief reputation became known. Wagner, who was said to be his heir, published it first under the title of "Dr. Johannis Faust's Magia Celeberrima, und Tabula Nigra, oder Hoellenzwang."
