<strong>777</strong> REVISED<br />

twenties, but never completed it. What he did finish is published<br />

here—most <strong>of</strong> it for <strong>the</strong> first time. The task <strong>of</strong> editing has been<br />

restricted for <strong>the</strong> most part to <strong>the</strong> omission <strong>of</strong> incomplete notes.<br />

The new material, which is marked with an asterisk in <strong>the</strong><br />

Table <strong>of</strong> Contents, consists <strong>of</strong> an essay on <strong>the</strong> magical alphabet, a<br />

short note on Qabalah and a new <strong>the</strong>ory on number. Then <strong>the</strong><br />

more important columns in Table I are explained. These<br />

explanations include a few corrections and a number <strong>of</strong> important<br />

additions to <strong>the</strong> original Table. Those who wish to work with<br />

<strong>the</strong>se Tables should extract <strong>the</strong> additions from <strong>the</strong> text, and add<br />

<strong>the</strong>m to <strong>the</strong> appropriate lines <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> column concerned.* Finally<br />

some new columns and “arrangements” have been included,<br />

partly from The Book <strong>of</strong> Thoth, and partly from holograph notes<br />

in Crowley's own <strong>777</strong>. The editor has assumed that Crowley<br />

intended to incorporate <strong>the</strong>se in <strong>the</strong> new edition. For <strong>the</strong> few<br />

interested in Gematria <strong>the</strong> numerical values <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Greek and<br />

Arabic alphabets have been added.†<br />

Crowley never completed <strong>777</strong> Revised, but he left enough<br />

material to justify its posthumous publication.<br />

* [This has already been done in <strong>the</strong> re-set version <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Tables which follow.<br />

These additions are distinguished by being in double square brackets [[like<br />

this]]. Fur<strong>the</strong>r, <strong>the</strong> additional columns from <strong>777</strong> Revised have been integrated<br />

into <strong>the</strong> main table. See my notes at <strong>the</strong> end for a more detailed discussion <strong>of</strong><br />

this treatment. — T.S.]<br />

† [In <strong>the</strong> re-set Tables following, numeration <strong>of</strong> Coptic has also been added.]
