Notes: The first UK edition published by Routledge & Kegan Paul in 1975, being The Equinox Volume V Number 1. Liber Al vel Legis - the Book of the Law - was communicated in 1904 through Crowley. This initiated text is the absolute basis of his work and, properly understood, provides a key to the infinite complexities of the world in which we live. This edition includes a facsimile of the original manuscript of Liber Al and an index.
