The Libri of Aleister Crowley is a list of texts mostly written or adapted by Aleister Crowley. Some are attributed to other authors. The list was intended for students of Crowley's magical order, the A∴A∴.
The publications of the A∴A∴ divide themselves into five classes:
- Class A consists of books of which may be changed not so much as the style of a letter; that is, they represent the utterance of an Adept entirely beyond the criticism of even the Visible Head of the Organization;
- Class B consists of books or essays which are the result of ordinary scholarship, enlightened and earnest;
- Class C consists of matter which is to be regarded rather as suggestive than anything else;
- Class D consists of the Official Rituals and Instructions;
- Class E consists of public announcements and broadsheets.
Some publications are composite, and pertain to more than one class. O.T.O. documents are not assigned to any A∴A∴ class.
