Jean DUBUFFET. *Oukiva trene sebot* by Jandu Bufe. [1958]. Typewritten with handwritten corrections, 1½ pages, in-4 format. Original typescript with five handwritten corrections and six caesura marks in blue ink from a text written in phonetic jargon, published by the College of Pataphysics in 1958. It was addressed to Noël Arnaud in preparation for a lecture. “KIXE KIRMU BOUJPA IATI DEVIPER ESFER PIKE KESKESE KISEKI SAMEN KESTI FELA KIXE SEPATE ZAFER LESSA FOTILLE SEFER SION NI LANSE DEKAIOU DANLNE”… [Whoever it is who’s stirring, don’t move—are there vipers and will you get bitten? What is it? Who’s coming? What’s going on here? Who is that guy? It’s none of your business…]. In the accompanying letter, Dubuffet regrets not having Pierre Bettencourt’s edition bringing together three of his short texts in jargon under the title *Plu kifekler mouninkon nivoua*. He draws Noël Arnaud’s attention to the works of André Martel, which stem from very different mechanisms (Signed typewritten letter, January 24, 1958, 1 page, in-4). Enclosed: Jean DUBUFFET. *Oukiva trene sebot* by Jandu Bufe. LXXV. Paris, Collège de Pataphysique, [1958]. In-16 booklet, stapled. First edition illustrated with 4 portraits printed in magenta on coated paper by Pierre Bettencourt and 5 full-page compositions by Jean Dubuffet. Limited edition of 555 copies: one of the 421 on yellow “Apothicaires” paper (no. 437).
