![On thirteen sheets of buff 8 x 13 inch typing paper, secured together in the left margin with a staple. The typescript was prepared or commissioned by Gerald Yorke (1901-1983) a friend and former disciple of Crowley's. Following Crowley's death Yorke, Karl Germer, Edward Noel FitzGerald and a few others realized that many important works by or relating to Crowley existed only in a single manuscript or typescript, and that if they did not move quickly to track down and copy those, they could be lost forever. In this case it was a diary in the possession of MP and journalist Tom Driberg. Driberg - who allowed Yorke to copy it - described his acquisition of the diary in his book "Ruling Passions" (1977): "Some years after I had left Oxford ... a man named Cosmo got in touch with me and said that he had acquired from the landlady of his room in North London a trunk once left there by Crowley ... In this trunk he had found some letters from me to Crowley: did I want them. ... He also let me have something much more interesting - a small square volume, bound in red morocco and encased in baroque silver ...[which] contained Crowley's manuscript diary, recording his daily magical and sexual doings for the period covering Loveday's death at Cefalu and Mussolini's subsequent expulsion of Crowley from Italy ..... It also contained a number of pages bearing what may be called oaths of allegiance, signed in Crowley's presence by various devotees." The diary itself is an extremely important Cefalu-period document and - as far as we are aware - has not yet been formally published. Although (typically) not strictly sequential, it seems to largely record events during the years 1921 - 1922 (Driberg is incorrect in that though it mentions Loveday's acceptance as a Probationer of the A.'. A.'. and subsequent death, the diary ends well before Crowley's expulsion. It is a fascinating and important document, containing detailed and explicit accounts of Crowley's sex magick practices, arrivals and departures at the Abbey, Crowley's travels during the period, etc. etc. As detailed above, the original was acquired by the colorful and controversial British MP and journalist Tom Driberg (1905 – 1976) - whose penchant for male prostitutes and other debauch so often led him to the brink of public scandal, that Winston Churchill is said to commented of him that: "Tom Driberg is the sort of person who gives sodomy a bad name." Not surprisingly he was acquainted with Crowley. Some months after Crowley's death, Driberg was approached by Crowley's one-time follower and long-time friend, Gerald Yorke, who persuaded Driberg to allow him to make a typescript of the diary. This is the carbon copy of that typescript. A few years later Yorke then gave this copy to John Symonds, who made use of it in writing his biography of Crowley, "The Great Beast." In the process Symonds underlined a number of passages in pencil and ink, and sometimes circled names and dates in ink - presumably those that he intended to research further or refer to. Included with the typescript is a First Edition Hardcover copy of Tom Driberg's autobiography "Ruling Passions" (1977), the book in which he refers to the manuscript diary from which this typescript was made (see pages 85-86). The book has a previous owner's inscription and the spine of the dustjacket is sunned, otherwise it is VG in VG dustjacket. The typescript is a little yellowed, and has a few small chips and tears around the margins, but is still VG.](/weiser/images/items/80x160/36547.jpg "On thirteen sheets of buff 8 x 13 inch typing paper, secured together in the left margin with a staple.
