a. The rebel archangel whose fall from heaven was supposed to be referred to in Isaiah xiv. 12; Satan, the Devil. Now rare in serious use; current chiefly in the phrase as proud as Lucifer.The Scripture passage (Vulgate ‘Quomodo cecidisti de cælo, Lucifer, qui mane oriebaris?’ King James Bible ‘How art thou fallen from heauen, O Lucifer, sonne of the morning?’) is part of a ‘parable against the king of Babylon’ (Isaiah xiv. 4); but the mention of a fall from heaven led Christian interpreters to suppose that ‘king of Babylon’ was to be interpreted spiritually, as a designation of the chief of ‘the angels who kept not their first estate’. Hence the general patristic view that Lucifer was the name of Satan before his fall. The Latin word was adopted in all the English versions down to 1611; the Revised version has daystar.
