with certain insignia by which they were recognised in art representations, which vary somewhat in examples of different periods.

The nine choirs of angels are classed as follow, with the name of the chief of each, according to ancient legend:

Cherubim
 Jophiel
 |
 Dominions
 Zadchiel
 |
 Principalities
 Camiel
 
Seraphim
 Uriel
 |
 Virtues
 Haniel
 |
 Archangels
 Michael
 
Thrones
 Zaphkiel
 |
 Powers
 Raphael
 |
 Angels
 Gabriel
 

According to A. Welby Pugin's "Glossary of Architectural Ornament and Costume," and other authorities, we learn the mediæval conception of these beings.
