allusion in question, made by Trithemius in a letter dated August 1507, is given

who has adopted the following title: Magister Georgius Sabellicus, Faustus
Junior, Fountain of Necromancers, astrologer, magus secundus, chiromancer,
aeromancer/ pyromancer, second in hydromancy.

with time, they became confused with one another-or so it seems from the
nature of the incompatible stories, some representing their hero as almost a
semi-divine being, others showing him as a vulgar confidence trickster that seems to have had an almost universal appeal;
translated into English it inspired Marlowe, stumblingly read aloud by the light of
peasant fireside it's stories
soon became part of popular German folklore [..]"
