Vita Nova. Illustrated by Maurice DENIS. Translated by Henry COCHIN. Paris, Le livre contemporain, 1907. In-4, folio size, cream cover with title in gold lettering. A beautiful edition illustrated with numerous compositions by Maurice Denis, woodcuts in color by Jacques, Camille, and Georges Beltrand, appearing both within the text and as decorative elements. Limited edition of 130 numbered copies reserved for members of Le Livre Contemporain, printed on vellum paper. One of the major books illustrated by Maurice Denis. The artist transposes the story of Dante’s mystical love for Beatrice into his own Symbolist and Christian universe, blending medieval inspiration, Italian landscapes, and idealized female figures. The highly cohesive design of the typography, ornamentation, and color woodcuts makes *Vita Nova* a work particularly representative of the revival of the illustrated book in the early 20th century. Printed in an edition of 130 copies; this copy was printed especially for Mlle Bernadette MAURICE-DENIS, the artist’s second daughter. Provenance: Maurice Denis Collection Private collection
