BARBEY D'AUREVILLY (Jules). - GUÉRIN (Eugénie de). Reliquiæ. Caen, printed by A.Hardel, 1855. In-16, (8of which the last 4 are blank)-60 [numbered vàlxiv]-44-(4of which the last 3d are blank)-144pp., followed by 12ff. blanks of the same "Blauw" watermarked hollande paper, the last of which glued to the lower flyleaf; stiff parchment with thin overlaps, smooth spine, gilt fillets dividing the spine and framing the boards with gilt fleurons on the spine and spandrels on the boards, initials "J.B.D'A." gilded in a gilt medallion in the center of the upper board, gilt head on witnesses; binding tarnished with slightly faded boards and thin tear to spine (period binding). Very rare first edition, printed hors commerce in only 50 copies on hollande, including this one, and at least one copy on papier rose. It was printed in December 1855 at the expense of Guillaume-Stanislas Trébutien, orientalist, medievalist, Norman scholar, curator at the Caen library and close friend of Jules Barbey d'Aurevilly. A bibliophilic gem for the happy few. Barbey and Trébutien took extreme care in the creation of the volume, personally choosing its format, paper, typeface and typographic layout, in accordance with their own criteria of elegance. The work, which, according to the print run's justification, "doesn't sell", was sent to only a few friends and critics. Barbey explained his motivation in a letter to Trébutien in April 1854: "This publication is not commercial. It is an Entre nous and an Entre ceux qui nous ressemblent". Eugénie de Guérin's literary "Reliques", preceded by a long preface by Barbey (pp.vàlxiv). These relics included the admirably sensitive and stylistic letters she wrote to her beloved brother, the poet Maurice de Guérin, the poignant diary of pain and mysticism she kept after his premature death, and other letters she wrote to the Breton poet Hippolyte LaMorvonnais. Sending a copy of the present work to Charles Baudelaire in February 1856, Barbey commented: "C'est rare et précieux comme le diamant bleu de M.Hope [a famous gem that had just been exhibited at the Universal Exhibition]". This monument to women's literature also contains two poems by Maurice de Guérin. Eugénie de Guérin's personality inspired Barbey to create certain traits of Aimée de Spens in LeChevalier Destouches, and of the Carmelite nun Calixte Sombreval in Un Prêtre marié. Autograph signed letter from Trébutien to Jules Barbey d'Aurevilly: "Donné par moi G.S.Trébutien à Moi J.Barbey d'Aurevilly, dans mon nid de passer solitarius. Caen, 29septembre 1853, jour de S.Michel Archange". Trébutien wrote the two "moi" in red ink, to emphasize that their friendship made them one and the same heart. The Latin term passer solitarius ("solitary sparrow"), was one of the affectionate nicknames by which Barbey d'Aurevilly sometimes called him. Jules Barbey d'Aurevilly's copy (gilded initials on the front cover). Literary tomb of Eugénie and Maurice de Guérin. A fellow student and friend of Barbey d'Aurevilly, Maurice de Guérin (1810-1839) also devoted himself to writing, mainly poetry, but died of tuberculosis at a very young age. During his lifetime, he published only a few texts in magazines, and remained little known, despite George Sand's 1840 article on him in the Revue des deux mondes. His sister Eugénie (1805-1848) also had a literary bent, and proved to be an outstanding letter-writer and diarist. Barbey met her in 1838, and was struck by her ugliness, but also by her depth and mysticism. She nurtured an exalted love for her brother Maurice, and vowed to have his works printed, but died before she could fulfill her promise. Barbey, solicited by Eugénie de Guérin, didn't really support her in this mission, and ended up distancing himself, but later regretted his thoughtlessness when, converted to a less disordered and more Christian life, he learned that Eugénie had died praying for his salvation. Although Barbey and Trébutien had been planning an edition of Maurice de Guérin's works since 1844, it wasn't until his "conversion" in 1853 that the project really took shape. The two friends then gathered together Maurice de Guérin's papers (Barbey held part of them) and, failing that, copies, as well as texts by Eugénie de Guérin kept by the latter's sister, Marie. The idea then arose to publish the works of both brother and sister, Trébutien also wishing to publish the works of Eugénie de Guérin.
