The Intimate Journal of Rudolph Valentino
New York: William Faro Inc. Very Good in Good dj. 1931. First Edition. Hardcover. a nice clean copy with only minor shelfwear to book; the jacket has a triangular piece torn away at the top left corner of the rear panel and is modestly faded on the spine panel and along the left edge of the front panel. Valentino's utterly fascinating if utterly bogus memoir-from-beyond-the-grave presented in a series of thirty-four portentiously-titled "entries" e.g. "The Eleventh Entry." Purportedly ghost-written by Samuel Roth the book opens with the "Last Entry" Valentino's purported account of the sudden onset of his final fatal illness then proceeds into more or less standard autobiographical mode. There's a good deal about his romance with and marriage to Natascha or Natacha if you prefer Rambova nee Winifred Hudnut which is regarded by many Valentino fans as one of the more unfortunate choices-of-partner that he made during his short life and meteoric career -- although R.V. rebuts this view in The Twenty-Third Entry in which he addresses the rumors that she was controlling manipulative etc. According to dead Rudy she was "a woman of the highest culture with a sane and judicious mind and I know she is loyal to my interests and that she thoroughly knows motion pictures" and that he "would indeed be a fool" if he ignored her advice. Given how well she comes off in this account I don't think we can discount the possibility that Natascha herself might have been behind its publication. . William Faro, Inc. hardcover

Traité des trois Imposteurs A Treatise on the Three Imposters
Suisse: De L'imprimerie Philosophique 1793. Hardcover. Near fine. A Lovely 1793 Printing of the Notorious Les Trois Imposteurs <br /> <br />“The most ubiquitous and influential of the clandestine philosophical manuscripts” <br /> <br />ANON Traité des trois Imposteurs A Treatise on the Three Imposters De L'imprimerie Philosophique En Suisse 1793. 1 blank leaf TP TP 3 – 168 i – iii = Table des Matieres 1 blank leaf. 12mo. Later edition. <br /> <br />NOTE: This edition contains the six notorious chapters along with three Appendices: "Sentimens sur le Traité des trois imposteurs" by B. de La Monnoye pp. 113 - 144; "Réponse à la dessertation de Mr. de La Monnoye sur le Traine des trois Imposteurs" signed J.L.R.L. and attributed to P.F. Arpe and to J. Rousset de Missy pp. 145 - 163 dated Janvier 1716; "Copie de l'article IX du tome ler seconde partie des Mémoires de littérature imprimes a la Haye ches Henry du Sauzet 1716” pp. 164 - 168. <br /> <br />The publication history of this book has become something of a cottage industry for Enlightenment bibliographers. The authorship has been variously attributed to Lucas Faint-Glain Boulainvilliers Levier Vroesen Aymon and even to Baron d’Holbach. Because of its heretical and blasphemous content Israel in Radical Enlightenment says on p. 695 that it “surpasses infinitely in atheistical profanity even those works of Spinoza which are regarded as the most pernicious” this text was long an underground affair never officially published showing up in slightly different hand-written versions and frequently seen incorporated with other texts. Its history is still confused by the fact that everyone involved with this work was so secretive – an understandable position to take given the harsh penalties including death that could result from being associated with this text in any way. <br /> <br />The first printed appearance the text seemed to have been just a part of a larger work La Vie et l’Esprit de Spinosa which had a “tiny”press run in 1719 by a Dutch printer see Israel Radical Enlightenment 684 & 700. The text of Traite des trois Imposteurs was then excerpted and avidly copied by hand and circulated among the most radical free thinkers of Europe – who frequently paid exorbitant prices just for the privilege of owning a copy. <br /> <br />Beginning in 1768 printers became brave enough or government supervision lax enough that they actually began to print and surreptitiously sell various editions of the text. Offered here is a 1793 edition of this revolutionary and heretical work. <br /> <br />The short treatise presents a direct assault on the three great monotheistic religions and challenges the integrity of their founding figures Moses Jesus and Muhammad claiming that these religions lack any substance whatsoever and owe their success in the world to the fear that underlies all of their basic assumptions and pronouncements. In contradistinction to these three frauds the text claims that Nature as the only god that is acting within the world. <br /> <br />For more details and a scholarly discussion of this important work see Jonathan Israel’s Radical Enlightenment Oxford University Press Oxford 2001 – especially pages 684-703. <br /> <br />CONDITION: Very good to near fine in contemporary full leather gilt decorated spine with title in gilt to black panel. Mior cracking to hinges. Decorative endpapers. Former owner’s bookplate to verso of front endpaper. Small elegantly scripted annotations to the first page of the “Reponse’ and “Copie” pages. A wonderful copy of this extraordinarily important text of the Radical Enlightenment. <br/><br/> De L'imprimerie Philosophique hardcover
