The True Grimoire by Jake Stratton-Kent

～ Le Livre des Esperitz
"[1) Lucifer was very beautiful and of such stature, as were the other good angels, and did not stay placed in the skies for the space of one hour, for he became proud by watching and contemplating the great beauty in which he was formed; and all those who were plotting evil with him were thrown into Hell in confusion. In fact Lucifer, according to what the doctors of nigromancy say, presides in Hell and all the aforementioned spirits of Hell obey him as the sovereign of Hell."
