1946réf. 0123With an Important Inscription by Aragon Explicating the History of the Text Aragon Louis 1897-1982. La Naissance de la Paix par Rene Descartes: ballet danse au chateau royal de Stockholm le jour de la naissance de Sa Majeste 1649. Paris: Bibliotheque Francaise pour les amis de l'auteur J. Dumoulin 1946. Copy #128 of 300 signed by Aragon. In addition this copy bears a full-page inscription Aragon. 4to. Original wrappers glassine. 34p. plus colophon. With an inscription which reveals the bibliographic history of the original translation: "Your father has requested that I write a poem on the dance for you. It is not possible because I am incapable but this book is on dance. It is a description of a ballet by Rene Descarte written in 1649 for the birthday of the Queen of Sweden. There must be a manuscript in Stockholm but I based my writing on a manuscript which existed before the war in the Bibliotheque Nationale which has since vanished. Here I have expanded the text with comments. For precious Sandra for when she is a big girl who will charm the world with her dancing. Signed Aragon 18 June 1977." When Rene Descartes was 54 he went to Stockholm at the invitation of Queen Christina. It is said that because Descartes refused to dance at a court ball Queen Christina charged him with writing the verses for a court ballet La Naissance de la Paix. The ballet was composed for performance on 8 December 1649 the 23rd birthday of the Queen. It celebrates the Peace of Westphalia at the end of the Thirty Years' war which was more or less won by Sweden. According to a recent study by Richard Watson "the evidence of Descartes' authorship is virtually nonexistent. Almost certainly the ballet was written by Helie Poirier a professional writer of French verse." References: Watson Richard A. Descartes's Ballet 2007. Dumoulin books
