Francis JAMMES (1868-1938). Autograph manuscript signed, Quatrains, 1922-1924; 85 leaves in-4 (27.5 x 21.5 cm) mounted on tabs and bound in a volume of red half-maroquin with corners (Asper, Geneva). Working manuscript of three books of Quatrains, some in several versions, with unpublished material. Manuscript of the Second, Third and Fourth Books of Quatrains published by Mercure de France in 1923, 1924 and 1925. "Each of the quatrains forms a unity. Jammes often takes up an old theme, enlivened by memory, and presents it in the rich, dense form of four verses closed in on themselves. A line, a movement, a silhouette as well as a simple title, a feeling or a meditation form the subject" (H. Hargous). Each quatrain bears a title. First draft and working manuscript, abundantly crossed out and corrected, some quatrains in two or three successive versions, and presenting numerous variants with the edition. It also contains 47 unpublished quatrains, not retained for publication (a typed table of these was drawn up by A. de Suzannet and is attached to the manuscript). Some of the Quatrains are dated, from August 1922 to July 1923 for the Second Book; on f. 27, Jammes notes: "Je commence ici le 29 Août 1923 Le Troisième livre des Quatrains", completed in December 1923; Book 1V is begun (f° 56) on December 19, 1923, and bears at the end this note: "J'ai achevé le 4e et dernier livre des Quatrains le premier jour du Printemps de 1924". Former Alain de Suzannet collection (bookplate), then Daniel Sickles (March 19, 1986, no. 88).
