Your transliteration of "Sasganir" looks like it corresponds to something I'd render as "Sasnegir".
Oops, well spotted. <corrects>
Is this a standard name in the esoteric literature?
Damfino: I just read the text, I'm not an expert in the esoteric literature! I only know it's from the esoteric literature by googling.
<digs out Windows 98 laptop> Right, the Encyclopaedia Judaica says the angels who turn up rarely in the aggadah include Zagzagael, which may or may not be a variant on the סגגסגא"ל I mentioned in a footnote. Wikipedia mentions this angels as among the Angels of Sanctification but not as a name of the Angels of the Presence. This page names Zagzagel as "the angel of the burning bush who gave advice to Moses (Exodus 3:2). Zagzagel advised and taught Moses, and was one of the three angels who escorted his soul to heaven. Zagzagel is believed to rule the fourth heaven. In his spare time, he also teaches other angels." (Spare time?)
I can't find any other reference to reasonable guesses for vocalising various variants of the name in the Encyclopaedia Judaica; none is also mentioned in Wikipedia's angels in Judaism category index.
