DURLIAT (Marcel). — ROMANESQUE ROUSSILLON - Lot 108
DURLIAT (Marcel). — ROMANESQUE ROUSSILLON DURLIAT (Marcel). — Romanesque Roussillon. Unpublished photographs by Jean Dieuzaide. German translation by Dom Albert Delfosse, O.S.B.; English translation by Mrs. Pamela Clarke. La Pierre-qui-Vire, Éditions Zodiaque, “La Nuit des Temps” series, No. 7, 1958. Large square 8vo, 260 pages, publisher’s binding in brick-red cloth, with a color-illustrated photographic dust jacket. Numerous maps and plans, extensive black-and-white photographic illustrations, and several color plates. The book includes 94 heliogravures and 4 color plates as inserts. FIRST EDITION, published in 1958. A second edition appeared in 1964, followed by others, a sign of the enduring success of this seventh volume of *La Nuit des Temps*. A major monograph by art historian Marcel Durliat devoted to the Romanesque architecture and sculpture of the Roussillon region. It examines, in particular, Saint-Michel-de-Cuxa, Saint-Martin-du-Canigou, Serrabone, Saint-Génis-des-Fontaines, Saint-André-de-Sorède, Elne, and Corneilla-de-Conflent, with particular attention paid to cloisters, galleries, carved portals, and murals. Upon its publication, the book was praised for Durliat’s particularly in-depth knowledge of the region’s Romanesque monuments. Jean Dieuzaide’s remarkable photographic series is one of the book’s major attractions: panoramic views of the monuments, sculptural details, cloisters, and landscapes of the Canigou region accompany the text and lend the book the distinctive visual quality characteristic of the early Zodiaque publications. Good copy. Interior is clean and well-preserved. Brick-red cloth binding in good condition. Original dust jacket preserved but worn, with scuffing, small tears, and marginal losses, particularly at the top and bottom edges and the corners. No slipcase
