BIFRONS ( 46 )
The Demon Bifrons is a Fallen Angel and the 46th of the 72 Spirits of Solomon. The earl Bifrons has a monstrous appearance but will take on human shape when ordered to do so. He teaches astronomy, astrology, geometry, other mathematical arts, and the knowledge of herbs, precious stones, and woods. He removes dead bodies from their graves and leaves them in other places and lights phantom candles on the graves. He commands six Legions of Demons.
From “The Goetia: The Lesser Key of Solomon the King” (1904) Written by S.L. MacGregor Mathers

His Office is to make one knowing in Astrology, Geometry, and other Arts and Sciences. He teacheth the Virtues of Precious Stones and Woods. He changeth Dead Bodies, and putteth them in another place; also he lighteth seeming Candles upon the Graves of the Dead. He hath under his Command 6 Legions of Spirits. His Seal is this, which he will own and submit unto, etc.

Original Text :
Bifrons, monstri similitudine conspicitur. Ubi humanam assumit imaginem, reddit hominem in Astrologia mirabilem, planetarum mansiones absolute docens, idem præstat in Geometria, and mensuris aliis. Vires herbarum, lapidum pretiosorum and lignorum intelligit. Corpora mortuorum de loco ad locum transmutat: Candelas super defunctorum sepulchra inflammare videtur. Huic subjacent vinginti sex legiones.
Original Text :
Bifrons, démon qui paraît avec la figure d’un monstre. Lorsqu’il prend forme humaine, il rend l’homme savant en astrologie, et lui enseigne à connaître les influences des planètes ; il excelle dans la géométrie; il connait les vertus des herbes, des pierres précieuses et des plantes; il transporte les cadavres d’un lieu à un autre. On l’a vu aussi allumer des flambeaux sur les tombeaux des morts. “Il a vingt-six légions à ses ordres.
