Amitiel is an angel name associated with truth. A closely corresponding form, Amiti El, appears in Moïse Schwab’s Vocabulaire de l’angélologie, where it receives an explicit angel-of-truth gloss and a short reference to amulets.
Amiti El in Schwab
On printed page 62 of the 1897 lexicon, Schwab states that the name appears on amulets and refers to Bibliothèque nationale Hebrew manuscript 603, folio 121b. This supplies an identifiable scholarly record of the name and a route to the underlying manuscript.
The entry is brief. It does not quote an amulet formula, explain the circumstances of its use or tell a story about Amitiel speaking before God. Those details cannot be supplied merely by expanding the word truth into a biography.
Nearby names and different kinds of evidence
Schwab separately lists Emeth, meaning truth, and Amitai, glossed as sincere, near Amiti El. Their presence in neighboring entries does not make their assignments interchangeable: Amitai, for example, receives a month association in the preceding entry.
Stories about truth personified in rabbinic literature are another kind of evidence. To identify their character with the amuletic name, the particular text must make that connection; a shared meaning alone is insufficient. The checked lexicon supports a concise entry about the recorded name, its gloss and manuscript citation. It does not establish an earliest appearance or one continuous tradition covering every angel called a figure of truth.
