Thelemic Texts gathers Liber AL vel Legis, also called The Book of the Law, and The Book of Thoth, both central to Aleister Crowley's Thelema. Liber AL vel Legis also appears under scripturetext as the canonical scripture of Thelema; it is catalogued here again for its place in the wider esoteric current Crowley drew on and shaped.
