“Sir Palamedes was the most ambitious attempt to describe the Path of the Wise as I knew it. It is in its way almost complete, but there is no attempt to show the necessary sequence of the ordeals described in each section. The last section, in which Sir Palamedes, after achieving every possible task and finding that all his attainments did not bring him to the end of his Quest, abandons the following of the Questing Beast; he returns, discomfited, to the Round Table, only to find that, having surrendered, the Questing Beast comes to him of its own accord.” — ALEISTER CROWLEY The Confessions of Aleister Crowley

Aleister
Crowley’s Sir Palamedes is a poetic account of the
Great Work and was first published in September 1910 as a
Special Supplement to The Equinox, Volume I, No. 4.
Crowley considered Sir Palamedes to be his most
ambitious attempt to describe the Path of the Wise.
At
the suggestion of his friend and mentor, Allan Bennett,
he decided
to compose the work using the form of the classic literature
describing
“the
quest.”
Each book is bound by hand and measures 9” x 8". 144 pages. Printed in blue and black on a high quality 70 pound text weight, acid-free Mohawk Via felt paper specifically chosen for this edition.
