Uriel. Uriel or Auriel is the name of one of the archangels who is mentioned in the post-exilic rabbinic tradition and in certain Christian traditions.
He is well known in the Russian Orthodox tradition and in folk Catholicism and recognized in the Anglican Church as the fourth archangel. He is also well known in European esoteric medieval literature.
Uriel is also known as a master of knowledge and archangel of wisdom. In apocryphal, kabbalistic, and occult works, Uriel/Auriel has been equated with Urial, Nuriel, Uryan, Jeremiel, Vretil, Sariel, Suriel, Puruel, Phanuel, Jacob, Azrael, and Raphael.
In the Secret Book of John, an early Gnostic work, Uriel is placed in control over the demons who help Yaldabaoth create Adam. Uriel or Auriel / Urielle or Eurielle is also a name assimilated by the Celtic Brittanic culture, because of Urielle, sister of the Breton king Judicael, who popularised the name.
The angels mentioned in the older books of the Hebrew Bible are without names. Rabbi Simeon ben Lakish of Tiberias even asserted that all of the specific names for the angels were brought back by the Jews from Babylonian knowledge. Of the seven archangels in the angelology of post-exilic Judaism, only two of them, the archangels Michael and Gabriel, are mentioned by name in the canonized Jewish scriptures, in the Book of Daniel in particular, which is one of the youngest books in the Tanak
