BLOY (Léon). Celle qui pleure (Notre Dame de la Salette). Paris: Société du Mercure de France, 1908. - In-8, 217 x 141: frontispiece, (4 ff.), 253 pp, (3 ff.), printed cover. Blue Bradel-style cloth, smooth spine decorated with a gilt fleuron, untrimmed, cover retained (period binding). First edition, dedicated to Pierre Termier, of this deeply Catholic work devoted to the miracle at La Salette in Isère, where two young shepherds named Mélanie Calvat and Maximin Giraud claimed to have witnessed an apparition of the Virgin Mary on September 19, 1846. "It was only in 1906, under the influence of Pierre Termier, that Bloy resumed the project of writing a book on the miracle of La Salette. After another pilgrimage to "la Sainte Montagne", he set to work, completing his work in September 1907. Termier paid the printing costs, but the Catholic publishers declined, so the book was published by the Mercure de France" (catalog of the Léon Bloy exhibition, Bibliothèque nationale, 1968, no. 59). The edition is illustrated on the frontispiece with a heliogravure of the statue of Celle qui pleure. ONE OF THE 3 FIRST COPIES ON IMPERIAL JAPON, this being the author's personal copy, numbered 2. It also includes this autograph note on one of the endpapers: mon exemplaire // Léon Bloy. Modestly bound for the author, he had it enriched with a color photograph of a view of the village of La Salette, and placed between pages 161-162 carnations picked on the mountain of La Salette, of which only one flower remains today. He also made four corrections, on pages 3, 7, 71 and 73. This is the copy that was presented at the Bibliothèque nationale during the exhibition devoted to Léon Bloy in March 1968, to commemorate the fiftieth anniversary of his death. It appears in the catalog under number 59. The copy was subsequently enriched by an autograph card signed by Madeleine Souberbielle-Bloy, the author's youngest daughter, dated Paris, July 16, 1969. She offers this book to a friend: "It is not I who offers you this book, but Léon Bloy himself. Please accept it as a tribute to our great and affectionate gratitude. My father had this copy bound and added the color photograph that is now in it. The carnations on page 161 were picked on the mountain of La Salette." This friend is René Lacroix-à-L'Henri, whose bookplate is affixed to the front flyleaf. He was the author of several articles on Léon Bloy, including a book entitled Léon Bloy un écrivain pour l'an 2000, published in 1977. Spine slightly browned, slight wear to covers and corners. Provenance: Léon Bloy. - Madeleine Souberbielle-Bloy. - M. and Mme Lacroix-à-L'Henri, with bookplate.
