SUPERBE EXEMPLAIRE RELIÉ EN PLEIN MAROQUIN DOUBLÉ MOSAÏQUÉ DE L'ÉPOQUE. - Références : Carteret Illustrés IV, 251 ; Dutel II, 1183 ; Pia Enfer 201-203. - Notes : Les Chansons de Bilitis sont l’œuvre la plus célèbre de Pierre Louÿs (1870-1925) qui s'est ici amusé à monter une petite mystification, faisant croire qu'il s'agissait d'un véritable document historique retrouvé, les œuvres d'une contemporaine de Sappho, dont il ne nous reste que quelques bribes de poèmes… Il n'a pas même négligé de citer de vrais ouvrages savants issus de l'industrieuse université allemande, d'inventer des découvertes archéologiques, et de multiplier les évidences pour donner du corps à son invention. Elle a eu le bonheur d'attraper quelques érudits enthousiastes, professeurs d'université offrant leurs services pour améliorer la traduction ! Bilitis est même devenu un nom commun, comme Sapho. "Je voulais entendre Le rire de Sappho Et la voix de Sa lyre Ce qui me parvint fut Le marmonnement moustachu Des grammairiens Des ptérodactyles grecs Et des dodos victoriens". Il s'agit en fait d'un pastiche, mélangeant bribes saphiques, épigrammes de l'Anthologie Grecque, et de tout ce que peuvent offrir Alciphron (Lettres de pêcheurs, de paysans, de parasites et d'hétaïres), La Pastorale de Daphnis et Chloé de Longus, Lucien et tous les romans grecs... Au final, on a plus d'une centaine de poèmes suggestifs et ingénieux, fruit de la malicieuse imagination et de l'art imitatif de l'auteur. Ce n'est pas mal du tout, mais quand même: c'était bien trop beau pour être vrai ! L'introduction : Vie de Bilitis, est excellente, et remplit parfaitement son office… "Bilitis naquit au commencement du sixième siècle avant notre ère, dans un village de montagnes situé sur les bords du Mélas, vers l’orient de la Pamphylie. Ce pays est grave et triste, assombri par des forêts profondes, dominé par la masse énorme du Taurus ; des sources pétrifiantes sortent de la roche ; de grands lacs salés séjournent sur les hauteurs, et les vallées sont pleines de silence. Elle était fille d’un Grec et d’une Phénicienne. Elle semble n’avoir pas connu son père, car il n’est mêlé nulle part aux souvenirs de son enfance. Peut-être même était-il mort avant qu’elle ne vînt au monde. Autrement on s’expliquerait mal comment elle porte un nom phénicien que sa mère seule lui put donner. Sur cette terre presque déserte, elle vivait d’une vie tranquille avec sa mère et ses sœurs. D’autres jeunes filles, qui furent ses amies, habitaient non loin de là. Sur les pentes boisées du Taurus, des bergers paissaient leurs troupeaux. Le matin, dès le chant du coq, elle se levait, allait à l’étable, menait boire les animaux et s’occupait de traire leur lait. Dans la journée, s’il pleuvait, elle restait au gynécée et filait sa quenouille de laine. Si le temps était beau, elle courait dans les champs et faisait avec ses compagnes mille jeux dont elle nous parle. Bilitis avait à l’égard des Nymphes une piété très ardente. Les sacrifices qu’elle offrait, presque toujours étaient pour leur fontaine. Souvent même elle leur parlait, mais il semble bien qu’elle ne les a jamais vues, tant elle rapporte avec vénération les souvenirs d’un vieillard qui autrefois les avait surprises. La fin de son existence pastorale fut attristée par un amour sur lequel nous savons peu de chose bien qu’elle en parle longuement. Elle cessa de le chanter dès qu’il devint malheureux. Devenue mère d’un enfant qu’elle abandonna, Bilitis quitta la Pamphylie, d’une façon assez mystérieuse, et ne revit jamais le lieu de sa naissance. Nous la retrouvons ensuite à Mytilène où elle était venue par la route de mer en longeant les belles côtes d’Asie. Elle avait à peine seize ans, selon les conjectures de M. Heim qui établit avec vraisemblance quelques dates dans la vie de Bilitis, d’après un vers qui fait allusion à la mort de Pittakos. Lesbos était alors le centre du monde…" - ENGLISH DESCRIPTION : Pierre Loüys- George Barbier : LES CHANSONS DE BILITIS. Seul texte véritable et complet. Imprimé à Mitylène pour les amis de Bilitis, 1929. Small 4to. (246 x 192 mm). pp. (iv), 56, (i), (i). Wood-engraved colour frontispiece, printed title in various colours with colour wood-engraved vignette and Louÿs test in three sections ('Bucoliques en Pamphylie', 'Elegies à Lesbos' and 'Epigrammes dans lIle de Chypre') illustrated with 60 wood-engraved illustrations by Pierre Bouchet after George Barbier, 54 in colour, seven full-page, 24 decorating the text, the remainder culs-de-lampes or vignettes, final leaf with justification and achevé d'imprimer; three-line initials in colour against gilt background throughout as well as numerous head- and tail-pieces and initial letters, verse numbering in gilt in Roman numerals, text in capitals ruled throughout and two additional wood-engravings for the wrappers; this copy with the additional suite printed in outline in bistre on Japon including the cover illustrations and a "planche refusée" in black. Our copy is not numbered but comes from a important collector and provenance with ex-libris. Full contemporary emerald crushed morocco by Charles Septier with his signature gilt, front and rear boards ruled in gilt to surround a decorative border of inlaid jade morocco with gilt Greek key pat-tern around curvilinear jade morocco surround with gilt roll tool for a central vignette with argent disc supported by lamp tools, banded spine in five compartments with gilt titles and elaborate decorative tooling, doublures of tan morocco with gilt surrounding an inner border of red and black inlaid morocco, central inlaid circular medallions illustrating vignettes from the book in colour morocco, gilt floral, foliate, phallic and vulvic tools at corners, patterned silk guards, marbled endpapers, board edges ruled in gilt, original wrappers with gilt illustration and backstrips preserved, a.e.g., matching morocco-edged wool-lined marbled board slipcase. The binding was commissioned by Beauvillain as he had commissioned other bindings from Septier and that his ex libris is bound in as a full sheet rather than pasted on one of the pages. Provenance: leaf with engraved ex-libris of Robert Beauvillain by Jouas bound in with the text: "Et BEAUVILLAIN ? / toujours il vous aime". - BARBIER'S RAREST BOOK, Les Chansons de Bilitis, bound by Septier and with the very rare additional suite. From the edition limited to 25 copies on vélin d'Arches only, this copy also with the very rare suite printed in outline in bistre on Japon of which very few copies were printed. Also with an extra unpublished full page print in bistre bound in the suite. The rarest and most recherché and erotic work by George Barbier. The magnificent binding by Septier features phallic and vulvic tools to the doublures and a central circular vignette to each: that for the front doublure is after the illustration for the second poem Je me suis dévêtue pour monter a un arbre ... ); that for the rear is after the twenty-third (D'abord je n'ai pas répon-du ... ). First published in Paris in 1894, this purports to be translations of poems by a woman named Bilitis, a contemporary and ac-quaintance of Sappho. This caused a sensation, not only because finding an intact cache of poems from a completely unknown Greek poet circa 600 B.C. would be a miracle, but because of its open and sensitive exploration of lesbian eroticism. Actually Bilitis never existed. The poems were a clever forgery by Pierre Louÿs -- the "translator"; to lend weight, he had even included a bibliogra-phy with bogus supporting works. Louÿs actually did have a good command of the classics, and he salted Bilitis with a number of quotations from real poets, including Sappho, to make it even more convincing. (J. B. Hare). They [Barbier's Les Chansons de Bilitis and Aphrodite] are celebrations of the ancient gods and their freedom from taboo. Bar-bier's illustrations reveal this world in full flower ... When reality and imagination fused, not only was it possible to travel freely wherever you liked, it was also possible to encounter ancient gods and fairies. Art Deco mixed old and new in previous unseen ways ... In his glass, Barbier mixed an uncanny cocktail of neoclassic and modern. (Hiroshi Unno) [Carteret Illustrés IV, 251; Dutel 1183; not in Unno].

19433575Paris: Inter Nos" 1943-1945. A COMPLETE SET--PERHAPS UNIQUE--OF THE FOUR BOOKS PUBLISHED BY "INTER NOS" IN PARIS DURING WORLD WAR TWO THE FIRST TWO OF WHICH WERE ISSUED DURING THE OCCUPATION. The first three are EXTREMELY RARE because of the tiny edition sizes by the time the fourth was published the Germans had surrendered so a somewhat larger edition could be printed. While many livres d'artiste were printed in France under the Occupation they were subject to Nazi censorship and thus limited themselves to uncontroversial subject-matter. "INTER NOS" as the name implies "among us" in Latin was the only organization in fact a small group of friends that published clandestine livres d'artiste with texts and illustrations depicting graphic sex and sadistic violence. 1 Edouard Peisson "Hans le marin" 1943 with 22 origlnal etchings by Paul-Louis Guilbert. EDITION LIMITED TO 17 COPIES PRINTED ON FINE WOVE PAPER OF WHICH THIS IS ONE OF ONLY FIVE "EXEMPLAIRES DE COLLABORATEURS" "collaborators" in a positive sense we must assume. THIS COPY WAS SPECIALLY PRINTED FOR EDOUARD PEISSON THE AUTHOR. This copy includes a second suite of the 22 etchings in second remarque state as well as a suite of the three "planches refusées" and an additional proof without text of one of the etchings. One of the subversive remarques features a small portrait of a German officer complacently smoking a cigarette with the etched text "26 MARS 1943 / 1.005e jour / DE L'OCCUPATION_". Folio. Loose as issued in original wraps housed in a custom clamshell box. FINE AND BRIGHT. 2 Frédéric Boutet "Un scandale au XVIIIe siècle" 1943 with 20 original etchings by Guilbert. EDITION LIMITED TO 17 COPIES PRINTED ON FINE WOVE PAPER OF WHICH THIS IS ONE OF FIVE COPIES WITH A REMARQUE SUITE OF THE ETCHINGS AND TWO SIGNED ORIGINAL DRAWINGS. This copy additionally has two etchings justified "épreuve unique" a working proof of one of the etchings two additional drawings the "planche refusée" two signed letters from Guilbert and a signed original drawing opposite the half-title. This book and the following one have an extremely unusual feature: many of the etchings in the suites are actually other versions of the etchings in the book rather than merely other states in other words they were not printed from the same plate. In some cases the etchings used in the book are "decent" and the etchings in the suites are most certainly not. Folio. Loose as issued in original wraps. Board chemise and slipcase. FINE AND BRIGHT.

The Songs of Bilitis is a collection of erotic essentially lesbian poetry by Pierre Louÿs first published in Paris in 1894 claiming that he had translated the original poetry from Ancient Greek. The poems are in the manner of Sappho; the collection's introduction claims they were found on the walls of a tomb in Cyprus written by a woman of Ancient Greece called Bilitis Greek: a courtesan and contemporary of Sappho's to whose life Louÿs dedicated a small section of the book. On publication the volume deceived even expert scholars. Paris: Chez Sylvain Sauvage, 15 Novembre 1927. hardcover
