Fernando Pessoa and Aleister Crowley: New discoveries and a new analysis of the documents in the Gerald Yorke Collection

Description

Abstract:
The documents concerning the relationship between Fernando Pessoa and Aleister Crowley preserved in the Yorke Collection at the Warburg Institute (London) have been known for some time. However, recent new findings have prompted a new analysis of the file. The purpose of this article is to have a new look at the documents that were already known and introduce the documents that have been recently found. The analysis will also be based on a comparison with the related documents from the "Magick" collection, now part of Pessoa's Archive at the Biblioteca Nacional de Portugal in Lisbon. Photographic images of the documents, together with a new edition of the texts, are also included.
Os documentos relacionados com a relação entre Fernando Pessoa e Aleister Crowley guardados na Yorke Collection do Instituto Warburg em Londres são conhecidos desde há algum tempo. Contudo, descobertas recentes exigem uma nova análise deste arquivo. Pretende-se com este artigo regressar com um olhar renovado ao material já conhecido e apresentar os documentos recentemente encontrados. A análise será complementada com uma comparação destes com os documentos da colecção "Magick", actualmente pertencente ao espólio de Pessoa à guarda da Biblioteca Nacional de Portugal. Serão incluídas imagens fotográficas dos documentos, bem como uma nova edição dos textos em questão.
