It is the number of a man.

Fixed some errors in The Sword of Song (mostly some forced line-breaks and hyphens left over from my previous ill-advised attempt to conform layout to the Collected Works printing while still having the thing set in Times New Roman) & gave it proper front & back board designs based on those from the original edition.

Current progress on Massey:

A Book of the Beginnings: vol. ii.. up to p. 208 of 684.  Later: Stalled because I got annoyed at Massey's abuse of the Book of Enoch (I Enoch), specifically using the preamble to a section which deals in an undisguised manner with  astronomical matters and the calendar to argue that a different (and on various evidences, probably somewhat later) section of the compilation being a pure astronomical allegory and not in fact an account of the mythical and actual history of the Israelites and their ancestors, mixed up with traditions contained in the "Book of Watchers," the first section of I Enoch.
The Natural Genesis, vol. ii: up to p. 340 of 536.
Ancient Egypt: up to p. 869 of 944 (pagination is continuous between vols. i & ii).

Yet by-and-by I hope to weave a song of Anti-Christmas Eve

The CP edition of Crowley's The Sword of Song (aka Liber LXVII, Class C), with layout & style completely re-done from the old version (& hopefully more readable) and many,  many transcription errors fixed (I think the 'g' key on my keyboard was broken when I first typed it) can now be read on Scribd.  Going to give it a proper cover some time with the '666' design and AC's name in Hebrew from the first edition, but for now all the actual text should be there (the "epilogue" in the old typeset wasn't part of the orignal work but was mistakenly included from vol. ii. of Crowley's Collected Works).
