Louys, Pierre; Felix, Franz
SONGS OF BILITIS
n.p.: Privately printed for The Pierre Louÿs Society 1928. Near fine. Re-issue limited edition of this classic pseduo-Sapphic collection of verse illustrated by Franz Feli. Originally "translated from the Greek" by Pierre Louÿs SONGS OF BILITIS was purported to be the "discovery" of a German archeologist: "Monsieur Heim penetrated to it by means of a narrow well choked with earth at the bottom of which he found a walled-up door which it was necessary to demolish. The low and spacious vault paved with limestone had four walls covered with plates of black amphibolite on which were engraved in primitive capitals all the songs which follow with the exception of the three epitaphs which adorned the sarcophagus" "Life of Bilitis". Actually the wholesale creation of Louÿs BILITIS exists somewhere between a literary hoax and and fin de siècle metafiction. This edition follows the 933-copy limited edition from earlier the same year. 11'' x 8.5''. Original green paper boards with printed titled labels to front and spine. One of 1250 copies. Printed on rag Unicorn laid paper. With 25 color plate illustrations by Felix all with titled tissue guards. xxxii 188 pages. Minor shelfwear toning. Tiny tear to spine label. Bright sound overall. Privately printed for The Pierre Louÿs Society unknown

Louys, Pierre [sic]
The Amusements of a Fortnight . Translated from the Unpublished Ms. by Constance Garnett. With a Critical Appreciations by Prof. Saintsbury
New Orleans: n.p. 1943. 106 pp. Mimeograph of a typed manuscript. Small 4to. String-bound card wrappers. Some chipping to wrappers a few spots of soiling. 106 pp. Mimeograph of a typed manuscript. Small 4to. An unrecorded item authorship unknown. The spurious association of Constance Garnett as translator and George Saintsbury whose name is applied to the end of the introduction dated 1927 with this volume is an amusing provocation as is the publisher's note found on p 6: "This book has been printed in so small a format to make it easy to hold it in one hand. Need we say more" Fourteen stories plus the preface. n.p. unknown

<p>New York: Macy-Masius 1926. Hardcover. Near Fine. Pogany Willy. Signed by illustrator. Full black cloth with lavender title box to front cover gilt lettering to spine illustrated endpapers signed by Willy Pogany at limitation page. Spine lettering dulled & partially rubbed; slipcase has short tears to paper covering & lavender coloring faded but structurally intact; the book itself is quite nice. Pierre Louys' "translations" of ancient Greek lesbian erotic poetry. Hard to believe Louys really intended for the book to be a forgery but he at least let it ride and it fooled people for many years. This is the preferred edition with the Pogany illustrations. Pogany's Art Deco erotica is playful.</p> Macy-Masius hardcover
