Hi Bob (and Merry Yule to all),
Although not specifically focused on angelic magic I would urge you to check out "Rhetoric, Science, and Magic in Seventeenth-Century England" -- a book-length study by Ryan J. Stark (Washington D.C., The Catholic University of America, 2009). It's a great read, full of excellent insights into the language and rhetoric present in grimoires and other occult writing of the time. I am sure you will find it of interest.
Regards,
Chris Miles

Merry Yule (hailing Discordia),
In my current work on angelic magic, post John Dee and Sir Edward
Kelley, I am endeavoring to research the history, practice, grimoires, etc.,
from 1700-1900 in the west. Their appears to be plenty that covers the 19th
century but far less concerning 18th century practitioners of angelic magic
and their craft. Any suggested articles or monographs covering this period
or remotely touching upon it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Best Wishes,
