First English edition, with the original text in Ladino. 5" x 7" softcover in card wraps with French flaps. 119pp. illustrated in black and white by Antonio Saura. A very good to near fine copy - little discernible wear besides a tiny white spot to spine. Pages crisp. A memoir by the French writer Marcel Cohen, originally written in Ladino - a moribund language spoken by the Jews of the Ottoman Empire and by Cohen in childhood - as an attempt to recover what he could of a language he had shared with his Sephardic family but in which he had never learned to write. Cohen later translated the text into French in 1981, but it was only brought into English by poet Raphael Rubinstein in 2006. A quasi-Proustian quest to revive his childhood not through sense, but by attempting to regain this nearly lost language. Rare in excellent condition. Inscribed by Author(s).…

Edition limited 301 copies, this being a special unnumbered deluxe copy on japan paper (of which 100 numbered copies are noted at the limitation page); unlike the ordinary numbered copies, the limitation page here notes: "Exemplaire imprimé pour M. Georges Calmann-Levy." A notable limited illustrated edition of Sophocles' classic Greek tragedy, issued with an additional full suite of plates. Vol.1 contains the text of Oedipus Rex ("Oedipe Roi" in French) and a significant portion of Raphaël Freida's original engravings and drawings, integrated directly with the text. This integration is vital, as Freida's artwork is not merely decorative; it serves to amplify the emotional intensity and psychological depth of the tragedy. The quality of the printing and the paper in this volume are of high importance. Volume 2 "États des Planches" (States of the Plates) is dedicated to showcasing the "states of the plates", providing a detailed look at the various stages of the engraving process, allowing the viewer to observe the evolution of Freida's artwork, from initial sketches to finished gorgeous engravings. This volume is of particular interest to those interested in the technical aspects of printmaking. It should be noted that surprisingly Freida's powerful illustrated edition has never been subsequently reissued. Volume one has some closed tearing on the original glassine and wrappers at the head and tail of the spine. A closed tear to the head of the spine itself. Volume with only a few minor instances of tearing to the glassine. Interiors with all images pristine and vibrant. Wrappers and glassines in very good- to very good+, interiors in near fine condition overall. Georges Calmann-Levy was at one time the head of the Calmann-Lévy publishing house in France, the son of it's founder Kalmus "Calmann" Lévy (1819-1891).…
