EMMANUEL (Pierre). — THE DAYS OF THE PASSION. - Lot 116
EMMANUEL (Pierre). — THE DAYS OF THE PASSION. EMMANUEL (Pierre). — The Days of the Passion. Poems by Pierre Emmanuel. La Pierre-qui-Vire, Zodiaque, 1962. “Les Points cardinaux” series, No. 6. Square in-4 format, approximately 26 × 20 cm, 204 pp., publisher’s cardboard binding covered in pink cloth, with a color-illustrated dust jacket, bookmark. Extensive photographic illustrations in black-and-white and color, spanning full and double pages, devoted to the medieval iconography of the Passion of Christ. First edition of this work, published two years after *Les jours de la Nativité*. The poems by Pierre Emmanuel collected here under the title *Les jours de la Passion* correspond to the “Ecce homo” cycle and will be reprinted in *Évangéliaire* and *La nouvelle naissance*. A beautifully crafted volume by Éditions Zodiaque, characteristic of the experimental collection “Les Points cardinaux,” in which the layout, photography, and reproductions of medieval works engage in a direct dialogue with the poetic text. The photographs and reproductions feature, in particular, crucifixions, removals from the cross, Last Supper scenes, scenes from the Passion, and Romanesque sculptures. A fine copy. The hardcover is clean and the interior is fresh. The original dust jacket is preserved, slightly rubbed and worn at the corners and along the edges, with a few small marks and marginal tears visible; overall, however, it remains very presentable.
