EMMANUEL (Pierre) & GRIVOT (Denis). — THE DAYS OF THE NA - Lot 115
EMMANUEL (Pierre) & GRIVOT (Denis). — THE DAYS OF THE NATIVITY. EMMANUEL (Pierre) & GRIVOT (Denis). — The Days of the Nativity. Poems by Pierre Emmanuel. Texts by Denis Grivot. La Pierre-qui-Vire, Éditions Zodiaque, 1960. “Les Points cardinaux” series, no. 2. Substantial in-4 volume (approx. 26 cm), 215 pp., publisher’s cardboard binding covered in white cloth, with a color-illustrated dust jacket; bookmark retained. First edition. Extensive illustrations devoted to the iconography of the Nativity in Christian art, combining photographic reproductions, sculptures, and medieval paintings. The volume is illustrated with 74 heliogravures, 7 color plates, and 20 full-page woodcuts. The second volume in the beautiful “Les Points cardinaux” collection from Zodiaque, this book combines the poems of Pierre Emmanuel with texts by Denis Grivot, in a concept where poetry, spirituality, and Romanesque art resonate with one another. Pierre Emmanuel’s official bibliography confirms the book’s first publication by Zodiaque in 1960 and specifies that the collection of poems was then titled *Et Verbum caro*. A fine copy. Interior in good condition. Hardcover well-preserved. Dust jacket present—which is a plus—but with scuffing, small tears, and wear on the headband and edges, as visible in the photographs.
