The Book of the Law | Liber Al vel Legis | (MV A6 format)

The reception of this book in Cairo in 1904 heralded the end of the Aeon of Osiris and the invocation of the new Aeon of Horus. Thus, the year 1904 EV (Era Vulgaris, or common reckoning of years) is designated as year 0 in the Thelemite calendar.

Three chapters of the Book of the Law were literally dictated to Aleister Crowley in three one-hour “meetings”, from noon to one in the afternoon, on the eighth, ninth and tenth of April 1904 CE. The text of this book is the dictation of a “superhuman intelligence” called Aiwass or Aivaz – a being who displayed knowledge and foresight beyond all human ability.

Crowley later recognized his Holy Guardian Angel in Aivaz, and assumed the mantle of Prophet of the Aeon of Horus as entrusted to him upon receiving the Book of the Law.

SLOVENŠČINA:

Knjigo, izvorno Liber L, kasneje pa preimenovano v Liber AL, običajno poznamo pod imenom Liber Legis ali Knjiga Zakona.

Prejem te knjige v Kairu leta 1904 je oznanjal konec eona Ozirisa in priklic novega eona Horusa. Tako se leto 1904 EV (Era Vulgaris, ali običajnega štetja let) v thelemitskem koledarju označuje kot leto 0.

Tri poglavja Knjige Zakona so bila dobesedno narekovana Aleisterju Crowleyu na treh enournih “srečanjih”, od poldneva do enih popoldne, osmega, devetega in desetega aprila 1904 EV. Besedilo te knjige je narek “nadčloveške inteligence”, imenovane Aiwass ali Aivaz – bitja, ki je izkazovalo znanje in predvidevanje iznad vseh človeških sposobnosti.

Crowley je kasneje v Aivazu prepoznal svojega Svetega angela varuha, ter prevzel ogrinjalo preroka Horusovega eona, kakor mu je bilo zaupano ob prejemu Knjige Zakona.
