Grimoire

First edition, one of 35 numbered copies printed on "mousse d'épave" paper, ours one of 10 copies hors commerce.

Illustrated with original colour engravings by Ania Staritsky, who also designed the original layout of the work in collaboration with Claude Nardin.

Rare and very fine copy, complete with its chemise and slipcase in full grey cloth (spine of the chemise slightly faded).

Manuscript pencil signatures of Jean-Claude Renard and Ania Staritsky at the colophon.

Our copy contains a manuscript text by the poet Jean-Claude Renard as well as an original collage by Ania Staritsky, signed by her.

Fine signed autograph inscription from Ania Staritsky to her friend and collaborator Claude Nardin: "Pour Claude-le-Normal avec toute l'amitié d'une gâteuse. Staritsky."

Unique copy exceptionally enriched with a second manuscript text by Jean-Claude Renard, an engraving not retained for the work, and a page of the limitation statement signed by Ania Staritsky and differing from that of this copy.
