Is Weyer's hierarchy of Demons reliable?

I would have to say no. Johann Weyer printed it as a direct response to the handbook, Malleus Maleficarum, which was an anti witch/occult guide book. The original title of this particular heirarchy was, Pseudomonarchia Daemonum (The false monarchy of the demons). Therefore, I would assume that it is not viable as a true statement of the heirarchy.
