In the mid-18th century, Sir Francis Dashwood inscribed the adage on a doorway of his abbey at Medmenham, where it served as the motto of the Hellfire Club. Rabelais's Abbey of Thelema has been referred to by later writers Sir Walter Besant and James Rice, in their novel "The Monks of Thelema" (1878), and C. R. Ashbee in his utopian romance "The Building of Thelema" (1910). As the forerunner of today's concept of will, the Greek " boule " (βουλή) is considered by classic philology, not " thelo " (θέλω) or 'thelema'. There are, in Greek, two words for will, which are used, for example, in New Testament partly synonym: " thelema " and " boule ". The verb "thelo" appears very early (Homer, early Attic inscriptions) and has the meanings of "ready", "decide" and "desire" (Homer, 3, 272, also in the sexual sense). "Aristotle says in the book " de plantis " that the goal of the human will is perception - unlike the plants that do not have 'epithymia' (translation of the author). "Thelema", says the Aristoteles, "has changed here, 'epithymia'", and 'thelema', and that 'thelema' is to be neutral, not somehow morally determined, the covetous driving force in man." In Septuaginta the term is used for the will of God himself, the religious desire of the God-fearing, and the royal will of a secular ruler. It is thus used only for the representation of high ethical willingness in the faith, the exercise of authority by the authorities, or the non-human will, but not for more profane striving. In the translation of the Greek Old Testament (the Septuaginta), the terms "boule" and "thelema" appear, whereas in the Vulgate text, the terms are translated into the Latin "voluntas" ("will"). Thus, the different meaning of both concepts was lost. In the New Testament in Koine "thelema" is used 62 or 64 times, twice in the plural ("thelemata"). Here, God's will is always and exclusively designated by the word "thelema" (θέλημα, mostly in the singular), as the theologian Federico Tolli points out by means of the "Theological Dictionary of the New Testament" of 1938 ("Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven").
