The Munich Manual, Pseudomonarchia, Lesser Key, and Dictionnaire further give Gremory the power of procuring love from women (although the Liber Officiorum Spirituum describes her as "a companion of the love of women, and especially of maidens"), while the Pseudomonarchia and the Lesser Key note that the duchess's crown is (somehow) worn on Gremory's waist. Stephen Skinner and David Rankine, in their edition of The Goetia of Dr Rudd, suggest that this was a mistranslation of the Latin cingitur which should have been translated "encircling her head".{{cite book |last=Rudd |first=Thomas |author-link1=Thomas Rudd |editor1-last=Skinner |editor1-first=Stephen |editor1-link=Stephen Skinner (author) |editor2-last=Rankine |editor2-first=David |title=The Goetia of Dr Rudd |year=2010 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Ws6CRAAACAAJ |language=en |publisher=Golden Hoard Press |publication-date=2007 |isbn=978-0738723556 |pages=158, 374 }}
