19410026571941. Full Morocco. Near Fine. A stylish twentieth century version of the illuminated manuscript which honors the tradition while not slavishly hewing to its Medieval ornamentation. 8vo. 17.5 by 11.5 cm. Unpaginated 64 pp. Rendered on vellum leaves. Contains 31 poems translated from the French by Paul Geraldy. The beautiful calligraphy is rendered primarily in black with red used for most titles and gilt reserved for the most salient titles. Most extraordinary though are the many vignette illustrations and ornaments of birds butterflies seraphs flowers stars masks and shells. These are integrated seamlessly with the text. They somehow manage to exhude a charisma without a wisp of vulgarity and their effect is bound to be sheer intoxication. The anthology of naive or deliberately simple poems "Toi et Moi" first appeared in 1912. Dedicated to Lisbet Marx who was the original owner of the manuscript and might have commissioned it. Minor rubbing to the spine bands. Clean bright and tight otherwise. <br/><br/> unknown books
