The original text has been reformatted and reset into a new typeset, and, most importantly, the barbarous words that Goodwin chose to leave out have been inserted into the text, thus allowing the reader to make full use of the rituals contained within without having to refer to other texts in order to use them.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font_8 wixui-rich-text__text\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"wixui-rich-text__text\"\u003e​\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font_8 wixui-rich-text__text\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"wixui-rich-text__text\"\u003eWhile the Betz translation remains the better-known edition, it’s worth noting that Betz is a second-generation translation, once removed, in which Betz translated Preisendanz’s German version. In contrast, Godowin’s was translated directly from the original archaic Greek. Thus, it is closer to the original. This is also the translation that Crowley used to create his ‘Bornless Ritual’.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font_8 wixui-rich-text__text\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"wixui-rich-text__text\"\u003eThis edition also includes Goodwin’s comprehensive notes as well as his Lecture to the Cambridge Antiquarian Society, originally published in 1851 and reprinted only once before in a now out-of-print edition.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font_8 wixui-rich-text__text\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"wixui-rich-text__text\"\u003e​\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"wixui-rich-text__text\"\u003eThis new edition also includes the Betz’s translation of the Bornless\/Headless ritual for comparison purposes, as well as Crowley's Invocation of the Bornless One.
