Crowley, Aleister (eigentl.: Edward Alexander C.): Liber Aleph VEL CXI. The Book of Wisdom or Folly in the Form of an Epistle of 666 THE GREAT WILD BEAST to his Son 777 being THE EQUINOX VOLUME III No. vi by THE MASTER THERION (Aleister Crowley).

Clarie 334 (1975 edition). Cross-Index A20. – Crowley wrote Liber Aleph in 1918 with the intention of composing a kind of missive to his „magical son and heir“ Charles [Robert] Stansfeld Jones [Frater Achad]. Liber Aleph therefore contains Crowley’s entire teaching in condensed form. Crowley himself wrote about this book: “Liber Aleph, the book of wisdom or folly, was intended to reflect the heart of my teaching in its deepest and most delicate dimensions. It is the most taut and lively book I have ever written.” – Text printed in blue, with index. Although the cover and spine say “Seattle”, the book was actually produced by The Unicorn Bookshop of Brighton, England. It is a verbatim reproduction of Karl Germer’s 1961 publication, but in a smaller format and with errors corrected on the page, and is the first British publication of the text. – Copy slightly rubbed and bumped. Scarce.
