Note 102 — Chapter III · RELIGION AND LAWS.
Reading edition
In the first edition of this work, I here mentioned the Devil as distinct from the genii; but I have since found that the majority of the most esteemed Arab authors are of the contrary opinion. Theirs is also the general opinion of the modern Arabs.—The angelic nature is considered as inferior to the human (because the angels were commanded to prostrate themselves before Adam), and still more so is the nature of genii.
