‎Cet ouvrage de Gabriel Soulages (1876-1930) a paru pour la première fois en 1909. Gabriel Soulages fut maire d’Albi de 1877 à 1888. Cet avocat républicain convaincu, passionné d’histoires locales, de littérature et d’archéologie, consacra les dernières années de sa vie à recueillir de la bouche des membres de sa famille et de son entourage, ce qu’il nomma « Chansons et poésies populaires recueillies dans l’Albigeois ». On lui doit plusieurs ouvrages notamment l'Idylle vénitienne, Des Riens, une traduction des Pastorales de Théocrite, Graffiti d'amour, On luit doit également ce bon mot qui donne assez une idée de son esprit badin : « Une femme vertueuse est celle qui, avant d'entrer chez son amant, ôte son alliance et enlève de sa chaîne sa petite médaille sainte. » "Ce n'est point un livre nouveau, mais ce galant pastiche fleure déjà les grâces et les hardiesses du siècle suivant, est d'une saveur si piquante et si gentiment pimentée qu'on ne se lasserait guère de le relire. Certes, la folle escapade de la gente Marie Toinon Cerisette et de sa jeune maîtresse, la maréchale de la Marsaille, n'est point à proposer en exemple aux filles sages, et Mme de Maintenon, si elle l'eût connue, fût entrée en grande colère. Mais Mme de Sévigné s'en fût fort divertie sans doute. Le récit qu'en fait M. Gabriel Soulages plaira aux lettrés. Il les mènera en Avignon en compagnie de la plus exquise des chambrières et de la plus sensible des princesses et il les associera à leurs jeux libertins jusqu'au jour où une noyade tragique mettra fin à ce malheureux petit voyage si joyeusement commencé et qui eût mérité de ne point s'achever dans les larmes, tant il est vrai que l'esprit né saurait jouer longtemps le personnage du cœur." (Le Figaro littéraire). SUPERBE ILLUSTRATION DE PAUL-ÉMILE BÉCAT, D'UNE DÉLICIEUSE SENSUALITÉ. EXEMPLAIRE RÉSERVÉ A PAUL-ÉMILE BÉCAT LUI-MÊME, IMPRIMÉ A SON NOM.‎

‎GALLONIO, Antonio‎

‎Historia delle sante vergini romane con varie annotationi e con alcune vite brevi de’ santi parenti loro, e de’ gloriosi martiri Papia e Mauro soldati romani‎

‎In-8°, (6), 350, (26), ill., legatura in pelle, con tasselli e titolo al dorso. Nacque a Roma da Lazzaro e da Diana Costa nel 1556. Di lui non possediamo notizie precise prima della sua frequentazione con Filippo Neri, iniziata, come egli stesso afferma, nel 1576; si unì poi agli oratoriani il 1° luglio 1577. A proposito della contiguità con Filippo Neri, nella Vita b. Philippi Neri (Romae 1600) il G. stesso si autodefinisce "Beati Patris nostri administer, assiduusque comes" (p. 145), e la descrizione del loro rapporto sembra abbastanza attendibile; è però soltanto negli ultimi anni di vita del santo che si può veramente parlare di un ruolo di assistenza e collaborazione quotidiana da parte del Gallonio. Precedentemente egli aveva avuto da Filippo il trattamento che questi riservava ai suoi discepoli di maggior talento. Il santo era infatti cosciente della vanità derivante dalla precocità intellettuale e cercava pertanto di procurare la mortificazione dello spirito assegnando umili incarichi a quel tipo di seguaci. Ordinava quindi al G. di chiedere l'elemosina vestito di stracci, di togliersi la tonaca per mettere in evidenza i buchi sulle maniche della tonacella davanti alle monache di Tor de' Specchi e - sono i casi più noti - gli chiedeva di cantare in piedi i versi di motivi popolari di Norcia al cospetto di visitatori illustri e alquanto divertiti. La mortificazione del G. mise davvero alla prova la sua obbedienza e la sua umiltà fino all'estremo, portandolo quasi ad abbandonare del tutto gli oratoriani. Significativamente, Filippo frenava l'inclinazione del Gallonio per la filosofia in favore dell'agiografia e della storia della Chiesa delle origini. Sebbene sia noto per la sua Vita b. Philippi Neri Florentini Congregationis oratorii fundatoris in annos digesta (Roma 1600; trad. italiana dello stesso G., ibid. 1601), quest'opera è per molti aspetti non rappresentativa del complesso della produzione del Gallonio. Peculiare dell'opera del G. era la ricerca sulla vita e le sofferenze dei protomartiri cristiani, in particolare delle sante vergini. Il suo primo libro fu l'Historia delle sante vergini romane con varie annotationi e con alcune vite brevi de' santi parenti loro e de' gloriosi martiri Papia e Mauro soldati romani. Motivata dalla traslazione delle reliquie di Papia e Mauro dalla chiesa di S. Adriano a S. Maria della Vallicella l'11 febbraio 1590 e scritta su espresso ordine di Filippo, l'opera forniva una serie di brevi vitae accompagnate da note storiche disposte secondo il giorno dell'anniversario a partire dal primo gennaio; pensato come supplemento al Martirologium di C. Baronio del 1583, il testo consentiva un ampio sguardo sui santi martiri. L'opera del Gallonio può essere vista come exemplum virtutis da fornire alle donne sia laiche che religiose. He was born in Rome to Lazarus and Diana Costa in 1556. We have no precise information about him before his acquaintance with Filippo Neri, which he began, as he himself claims, in 1576; he then joined the oratorians on 1 July 1577. Regarding the contiguity with Filippo Neri, in Vita b. Philippi Neri (Romae 1600) G. himself calls himself "Beati Patris nostra administer, assiduusque comes" (p. 145), and the description of their relationship seems quite reliable; however, it is only in the last years of the saint's life that one can truly speak of a role of daily assistance and collaboration by Gallonius. Previously he had had from Philip the treatment that he reserved for his most talented disciples. The saint was in fact aware of the vanity deriving from intellectual precocity and therefore sought to procure the mortification of the spirit by assigning humble assignments to that type of followers. He then ordered the G. to ask for alms dressed in rags, to remove his cassock to highlight the holes on the sleeves of the cassock in front of the nuns of Tor de 'Specchi and - they are the best known cases - asked him to sing on his feet the verses of popular motifs of Norcia in the presence of illustrious and somewhat amused visitors. The mortification of Gallonius really tested his obedience and his humility to the extreme, almost leading him to completely abandon the oratorians. Significantly, Filippo curbed Gallonius' inclination for philosophy in favor of hagiography and the history of the early Church. Although he is known for his Vita beati Philippi Neri Florentini Congregationis oratorii fundatoris in annos digesta (Rome 1600; Italian translation of the same G., ibid. 1601), this work is in many respects not representative of the whole Gallonius production. Peculiar to the work of Gallonius was the research on the life and sufferings of the Christian proto-martyrs, in particular of the virgins. His first book was the History of the Holy Roman Virgins with various annotations and with some short lives of their holy relatives and of the glorious martyrs Papia and Mauro Roman soldiers. Motivated by the translation of the relics of Papia and Mauro from the church of S. Adriano to S. Maria della Vallicella on 11 February 1590 and written on the express order of Filippo, the work provided a series of short vitae accompanied by historical notes arranged according to the anniversary day from 1st January; thought as a supplement to the Martirologium of C. Baronio of 1583, the text allowed a broad look at the holy martyrs. This book was intented as exemplum virtutis for nuns and for secular women.‎

A Lupe Solano Mystery No. 6. The dearest friend of Lupe Solana's beloved "Papi" Ramón Suarez was the owner of a prosperous sugar mill back in Cuba until Castro forced him into exile. Now an unnamed Spanish source wants to purchase the confiscated property at a fraction of its true value. Suarez wants the sexy smart hot-tempered South Florida P.I. to find out why but Ramon's lazy no-good nephew Alexander just wants to take the money and run. Then Alexander is found brutally slain in a sleazy Miami hotel -- his last known visitor Tío Ramón accused of murder.

‎GARY (Romain)‎

‎Éducation européenne.‎

‎Précieux exemplaire d'une « Juste parmi les nations» et figure majeure de la Résistance Paris, Calmann-Lévy, (juin) 1945. 1 vol. (120 x 185 mm) de 178 p., [1] et 1 f. Box beige, doublures et gardes de daim sable, titre doré, tranches dorées, couvertures et dos conservés, étui bordé (reliure signée de Goy & Vilaine). Édition originale. Un des 200 premiers exemplaires sur Outhenin-Chalandre (n° 6). Envoi signé : «À Madame Maria Errázuriz, très amicalement, Romain Gary. Paris, 10 nov. 1945».‎

‎Écrit pendant la guerre alors que Romain Gary est intégré, depuis juillet 1942, au groupe de résistance Lorraine, ce premier roman est d'abord publié en anglais à la fin de 1944, sous le titre de Forest of Anger. La version française est retravaillée entre novembre 1944 et mars 1945, pour être publié à l'été 1945. Le roman est dédié à un jeune compagnon du groupe Lorraine, Robert Colnacap, et obtient le Prix des critiques le 7 novembre 1945, salué par Maurice Nadeau et Albert Camus. Gary est le premier surpris par le succès : « Qu'est-ce qui se passe ? écrivait-il à son ami Raymond Aron : je reçois des lettres ahurissantes d'Albert Camus, la lettre la plus belle, la plus émouvante que vous pouvez imaginer de Martin du Gard [...]. Je reçois un mot stupéfiant de Gaston Gallimard qui a toujours refusé mes manuscrits et qui demande maintenant mon prochain livre ». Magnifique exemplaire, en remarquable provenance d'une figure importante de la Résistance, María Errázuriz, « Juste parmi les nations », qui sauva une centaine d'enfants de la déportation à Paris entre 1941 et 1944. Née à Santiago le 11 décembre 1893, dans la plus riche famille du Chili, María Edwards McClure épouse à dix-huit ans le diplomate chilien Guillermo Errázuriz, lequel meurt en 1922, à vingt-trois ans. Installée à Paris, remariée avec Jacques Feydeau, le fils de l'auteur dramatique, elle va traverser la Seconde Guerre mondiale en participant plus qu'activement à l'un des réseaux de la Résistance les plus secrets, les plus dangereux mais aussi les plus efficaces, piloté depuis Londres par l'Intelligence Service : le Réseau Jade-Amicol. Au premières heures du conflit, elle est d'abord bénévole à l'hôpital américain de Neuilly : elle appartient à l'équipe qui prend en charge les premiers blessés de la Royal Air Force. L'armistice signée, Paris est occupée et elle se rapproche alors de Germaine de Rotschild, à qui elle propose son aide dans l'hôpital fondé par la famille de son mari au siècle précédent, dans le XIIe arrondissement. Elle s'y lie rapidement avec Claire Heymann, qui y travaille déjà comme assistante sociale. Sous l'Occupation, les pavillons de l'hôpital sont clôturés de fils de fer barbelés et transformés en centre de détention : des détenus juifs tombés malades au Vel' d'Hiv' et au camp de Drancy, dont de nombreux enfants, y sont transportés pour une hospitalisation. La nécessité s'imposent à elles d'en sauver le plus possible. La méthode de « Tante Maria » et « Tante Claire » ? Prolonger l'hospitalisation des enfants, puis les faire disparaître des registres et les placer discrètement dans des institutions chrétiennes ou auprès de familles d'accueil, après les avoir fait passer par la porte de la morgue qui n'était pas surveillée. Maria Errázuriz se chargeait de maquiller les registres : « il y avait deux flics qui surveillaient les entrées et les sorties. Des malades venus du camp de Drancy étaient soignés. Ceux-là ne guérissaient pas vite ! On les gardait le plus longtemps possible », se rappelle Colette Brull-Ulmann, une interne dans le secret des opérations (Des médecins dans la Résistance, de Cécile Tartakovsky, France Télévisions, 2020). A partir de 1942, le réseau, rodé, prend contact avec celui créé et dirigé par Claude Arnould et Philippe Keun, capitaine du Special Operation Service (SOE), lié au MI6 : le Réseau Jade-Amicol. Leur poste de commandement est installé au couvent parisien de Sainte-Agonie, rue de la Santé. Et c'est chez Maria Errazuriz que des réunions sont organisées et que l'argent, nécessaire au paiement des agents et aux frais, est apporté de Londres, par des petits avions monomoteurs appelés Lysanders, qui atterrissent de nuit sur des terrains isolés de la campagne au nord de Paris. Pourquoi ce lien ? Parce que Philippe Keun, né en 1911, n'est ni plus ni moins que le neveu de Jacques Feydeau, que Maria Errazuriz a épousé en 1926 et dont elle a divorcé en 1931. Elle a pour son neveu par alliance une affection réelle et, aux premières heures de la guerre, ils n'ignorent rien de leur engagements respectifs. Maria Errazuriz sera ainsi l'une des rares personnes, à Paris, au courant de la presque totalité du réseau et de ses arcanes. Aussi discrète qu'efficace pendant presque ces trois années de Résistance, elle est arrêtée sur dénonciation en décembre 1943 et soumise au supplice de la baignoire glacée. Elle ne dira mot et ses tortionnaires ne lui arracheront aucun secret. Elle est libérée faute de preuves, sur intervention directe de l'ambassadeur d'Espagne, et mise sous surveillance. Son neveu aura moins de chance : il est arrêté par la Gestapo à l'aube du 29 juin, près d'Orléans, où son équipe prépare une réception de parachutage d'armes, trois semaines après le Débarquement. Arrêté et déporté à Buchenwald, il est torturé à mort et meurt au camp, comme tous ses compagnons arrêtés le 29 juin. Maria Errazuriz reçoit au retour de la paix la Médaille du courage délivrée par le roi d'Angleterre George VI, la Légion d'honneur ainsi que la Croix de guerre avec palme, avant de regagner pour quelques années le Chili : sa famille, sur place, la supplie de revenir vers eux. « Elle y songe, ayant été profondément touchée par la compassion exprimée après les commentaires déclenchés au Chili par la dépêche de Reuters», laquelle, le 11 décembre 1944, décrivait les actes héroïques de Maria Errazuriz via un long article paru dans le quotidien El Mercurio. « Son voyage est annoncé pour novembre 1945. On ignore à quelle date elle quitte Paris» : avec certitude, après le 10 novembre, jour de cette dédicace de Romain Gary, qui n'est en France que depuis l'été. D'où se connaissent-ils ? En Europe, ce n'est qu'à partir du 8 juin 1945 que la figure de Maria Errazuriz apparaît. C'est Marcelle Auclair qui veut rendre hommage à «cette amie sud-américaine ; une trop belle histoire que que je ne vous la raconte pas» : elle donne ainsi un article dans le journal hebdomadaire «France», en première page, où l'action de « cette amie magnifique de la France» est décrite - sans qu'elle soit nommée autrement que de ses initiales. Le journal, qui paraît depuis les premières heures de la France Libre en 1940, paraît à Londres, avec une rédactions installée au 2, Dorset Build. de Salisbury Square, est probablement le lien entre Romain Gary et Maria Errazuriz : il est probable que le capitaine Gary, cantonné à Londres en ce mois de juin, lit la presse. Quelques semaines plus tard, le 14 juillet 1945, le Général de Gaulle le décore de la Légion d'Honneur sous l'Arc de Triomphe, alors qu'Education européenne, tout juste imprimé, va commencer à être diffusé ce même été. Il obtiendra à l'automne le Grand Prix des Critiques et propulse Gary sur le devant de la scène littéraire. Romain Gary offrira peu d'exemplaires dédicacés de son premier livre, et le plus souvent à des proches dans la sphère éditoriale. On connaît ainsi les exemplaires envoyés à Maurice Nadeau, Francis Dumont (collaborateur chez Calmann-Lévy), Roland Feuvrier, Pierre Calmann et Raymond Aron, et seuls les trois premiers sont sur le grand papier. Précieux exemplaire, offert à une figure majeure de la Résistance franco-anglaise. Elle sera honorée en 2005 par Yad Vashem du titre de « Juste parmi les nations » : seules deux personnalités chiliennes ont été honorées de ce titre. Maria Errázuriz, par André Kervella (Paris, L'Harmattan, 2025), à qui nous devons quelques précieuses informations, vient récemment de paraître. Elle permet d'encore mieux cerner et comprendre le parcours de cette femme hors du commun.‎
