CROWLEY, Aleister.

Thelema [ letters in Greek ] Holy Books of Thelema.

Thame: I-H-O [ IHO ], 1999. First Edition Thus. Softcover. Octavo. (8 5/8 x 6 1/8 inches). 52pp. (iv), (36)pp. Original printed wrappers, illustrated. Black and white plate of "Stelae of Revealing." Loosely inserted at front is a "With Compliments" printed notice from the publisher, Anthony Naylor, which he has SIGNED. This edition includes all the "Holy Books" as published in the original 1909 edition of "Thelema" plus some additional material. Contents: Liber LXI vel Causæ, Liber VII: Liber Liberi vel Lapidis Lazuli, Liber LXV: Liber Cordis Cincti Serpente, Liber CCXX: Liber AL vel Legis, Liber XXVII: Liber Trigrammaton sub Figura XXVII, Liber DCCCXIII vel Ararita as well as the 'New Comment' on Liber AL vel Legis, and Liber XXXI (the manuscript version of "The Book of the Law"). From the collection of Clive Harper with his discrete book-label neatly tipped in at the rear. Harper is well-known as the bibliographer of Austin Osman Spare, for updating the Aleister Crowley bibliography in the 2011 Teitan Press collection of Gerald Yorke's writings, and as someone who has lent his expertise to numerous other publications. The label can easily be removed without affecting the page, although it would be a shame not to preserve this record of the book's provenance. Very light rubbing to covers and edges - otherwise appears "as new". Thus a tight, near Fine copy. Item #64858
