Signed
Deluxe limited edition. Signed by the author. Publisher's original green and gilt padded boards, with titles in gilt to the upper board and spine, in dustwrapper. All edges gilt. A very good copy, the binding square and firm, the lower board with a little paper residue from the underside of the dustwrapper. Complete with the rubbed and marked dustwrapper that has a faint stain to the right edge of the upper panel and some damp marking to the underside. This deluxe issue is limited to 200 copies of which this example is numbered 55 and signed twice by Marcelo Motta (once as '666' and again with his normal signature), and also [most unusually] in red ink by Jeremy Charles Ellis. Motta was reclusive and notoriously averse to signing his works, this is the only volume of his Equinox series that was issued as a signed limited edition. In May 1978 Jeremy Charles Ellis was nominated by Motta a representative of the Society Ordo Templi Orientis in London with instruction to stop the Crowleyan publications of Kenneth Grant and John Symonds. Taking Motta's orders literally he was arrested and jailed in 1982 for the attempted arson of the offices of Grant's publisher Routledge and Kegan Paul. He committed suicide in 1983. Further details and images for any of the items listed are available on request. Lucius Books welcomes direct contact with our customers.

Manifesto, One Star in Sight, Facsimile of the Original Manuscript of Liber AL, plus index. From inner dustjacket flap: "The Commentaries of AL has as its core LIBER AL vel LEGIS (The Book of the Law), a Book communicated in 1904 e.v. through Aleister Crowley. It is more than mere literature; it has been described as: 'The foundation of public and private morality for the next thousand years.' In The Commentaries of AL, the text of LIBER AL vel LEGIS (printed here in boldface) and the initiated annotations of both Aleister Crowley and Marcelo Motta were presented together for the first time. Crowley's Commentary (here printed in roman type) was, for the most part, written in the 1920's (e.v.). This has been edited by Marcelo Motta, who removed material that was, in the opinion of the Master of the Temple, magickally worthless. To this Mr. Motta has added his own extensive Commentary (here printed in italic, to distinguish from the work of Aleister Crowley). During his life Marcelo Ramos Motta contributed significantly to Thelemic Literature with his illuminating and modern Commentaries to the Works of Aleister Crowley. Modern students of Thelema have profited greatly from his published Annotations. The Commentaries of AL is his first work of this kind, originally published in 1975 e.v. It has been out of print for over a decade and has, until now, been extremely hard to obtain". Bound in original purple cloth with bright gilt lettering & symbol to front board & spine, grey endpapers, in publisher's original unclipped white dustjacket with gold lettering & design. Slight handling wear, dustjacket with mild wear, trivial marks & two small closed tears which have been tape-repaired from the inside, otherwise a very nice clean tight solid hardcover copy. The dustjacket is now protected in a removable clear Bro-dart cover. xxii + 456pp + 2pp ads. RARE.
