Thank you... but, as Ningauble shows, there are problems with this as the literal intention Lovecraft had, though I'd still argue that the connection was very much on his mind here. As for which (if any) particular sorcerer of medieval times he had in mind for the actual figure... that one I'm not so certain of. (Sorry for the confusion here... the result of posting after 34 days' work straight, and a weeks' worth of very little sleep....)
