August 6 (Fire) Liber LXV, Cap. IV, v. 59-60

GabrielO

**59. Thou dost faint, thou dost fail, thou scribe; cried the desolate Voice; but I have filled thee with a wine whose savour thou knowest not.
60. It shall avail to make drunken the people of the old gray sphere that rolls in the infinite Far-off; they shall lap the wine as dogs that lap the blood of a beautiful courtesan pierced through by the Spear of a swift rider through the city

What was the link to that commentary again? If you don't mind.

GabrielO

I don't have a specific link - if you search "liber cordis cincti serpent" there should be at least one that has the commentary.

Hermitas

Thanks.

Danica

Hermitas, if you find it in English, please post the link.
I tried before, never found it online. I have a paper copy, but it's a Serbo-Croatian translation; I have never seen the English original of the commentary.

I know of at least two places that have it. Just a sec.

n The Continuum. ]

I don't know it it's even permissible to post it, but I'm taking the chance.

I forgot that the commentary to Liber 65 was also published via In The Continuum. I'm sorry, I thought I remember it being more available.

If you go to helema.org/publications/itc.html you will be able to download copies with volumes spanning over the years. The format appears to have alternating pages of the book's text and then commentary thereafter which at first can be slightly confusing. This was all done, painstakingly careful I'm sure, by typewriter.

Also in the helema.org/publication page is the College of Thelema publication of Liber VII with commentary.

D'oh!

I looked again while searching and didn't notice before that the only one I could find was with Motta's commentary included. ITC for it's time published a lot of stuff never previously available. Now, most of it is all available online, but it is good to see that it still comes through with a relatively rare text even now.

Danica

Yes, unfortunately only with Motta's commentary online.
Thank you both!
