COURT DANCING SCROLLABAA

A finely illustrated & written scroll on paper entitled "Bugaku emaki" trans.: "Picture Scroll of Imperial Court Dances" measuring 330 x 16040 mm. 43 brightly colored illustrations of different dances

ref. 5733Japan: 17th or 18th century. In the seventh and eighth centuries when trade flourished with the rest of Asia especially Korea and China Japanese nobility melded foreign dance and music traditions with native Shinto songs. This amalgam was eventually incorporated into official court functions and became so important that it even merited the establishment of a ministry of dance in 701. Trained court nobles and professionals were the only ones permitted to execute these complex choreographies. Bugaku now known as gagaku was a type of dance performed at the imperial court during the Edo period. At the beginning of the scroll which takes place in the emperor's palace one sees large drums called dadaiko framed by flames and dragons. On top of one of the larger drums there is a motif of the sun. These drums are accompanied by musicians playing a mouth organ sho a bamboo flute ryuteki and smaller drums in the gakuya the musicians' section. They sit under an elaborately decorated banner and provide a steady rhythm for the dancers on stage before them. The elevated stage takabutai where two dancers are performing enbu is adorned with a highly ornate brocade drape. This scroll is illustrated with the kingin deie method in which gold or silver is mixed with animal glue then pasted onto the scroll. This rare technique provides an almost three-dimensional quality to the images. The scroll depicts 43 distinct dances each with unique costumes. The costumes are particularly well-rendered in bright red orange teal blue black grey etc. and many display intricate and mesmerizing patterns. The head-pieces costumes and props are all masterfully portrayed. Gold is featured prominently in many of the costumes and throughout the scroll there are "mists" of gold painted in the background. Above each set of dancers the name of the dance is written. They include: manzairaku engiraku katen karyobin kocho komaboko seigaiha genjoraku dakyuraku konju bato kitoku bairo ryoo and nasori. At the end of the scroll there is another view of the gakuya from a diiferent perspective showing the backs of the drums which are exquisitely decorated in silver. Fine condition. Several images have some creasing but this is not serious. unknown books

Principes de la choregraphie.

ref. 0466Magny maitre de danse. Principes de la choregraphie. Geneve: Editions Minkoff 1980 Facsimile reprint of the original which was completely engraved when published in Paris 1765. 8vo. Wrapper. Fine. 243pp. Magny's Principes de Choregraphie is an important book for understanding the teaching of dance notation in the baroque period. Magny gives a detailed yet simplified explanation of the Feuillet method and also describes the steps for six ballroom dances including Le Quadrille a cotillion. Illustrated especially composed for learning steps and patterns. His method is considered an "abbreviated method for easily knowing the contredanses without their steps having to be written down." Sowell. Little is known of Claude Marc Magny 1676-1727 save for the important fact he studied under Pierre Beauchamps. unknown books

Stephane MALLARME - Joris-Karl HUYSMANS - Marie DANSEBiblio.com

Manuscript poems of Stéphane Mallarmé

1887ref. 88480No Location: s. n. 1887. Fine. s. n. No Location 1887 20 x 32 cm 1 portrait-frontispice 1 titre à l'encre 83 p. manuscrites qq. feuillets vierges Exceptional illuminated manuscript of 35 poems by Stéphane Mallarmé probably copied by Joris-Karl Huysmans on watermarked Hollande laid paper after pre-first editions of the poems published in journals. Most of the poems are preceded by a separate title-page noting the source from which it is taken. The manuscript includes a fine charcoal portrait of Mallarmé as a frontispiece by Charles Tichon after a photographic portrait by Van Bosch. The portrait was published in the Mallarmé issue of Empreintes Bruxelles LÉcran du Monde n° 10-11. Another version was published in 1889 Caprice Revue 2e année n° 60. two floral compositions in gouache and watercolor illustrating the poems Les Fleurs and Apparition as well the calligraphed author's name as a title-page. Although unsigned the illutrations are attributed to Louise or Marie Danse. Bradel binding contemporary cream silk boards with floral motif two embroidered green silk markers with floral motif gilt semis patternerd flyleaves and pastedowns slightly faded red edges. Dampstains on the lower part of the lower board rubbed corners a few silk threads loosened on the spine rubbed boards. Outstanding manuscript of 35 poems by Stéphane Mallarmé written shortly before the first collected edition of his poetry of which only 47 copies were ever printed Poésies photolithographed Revue indépendante 1887. This carefully calligraphed collection is attributed to the hand of writer Joris-Karl Huysmans a great admirer of the poet who is said to have given the manuscripts to his friend Jules Destrée. This scribal manuscript which includes some of Mallarmés most celebrated pieces such as Hérodiade L'Après-midi d'un faune Le tombeau d'Edgar Poe Prose pour des Esseintes Le vierge le vivace et le bel aujourd'hui appeared for the first time in the posthumous sale of the Belgian politician and writer Jules Destrée in 1936 at the Galerie Leopold in Brussels. A pencil note on the title page of the collection reads: According to Mr. Simonson expert at the Destrée sale this manuscript was sent by J.K. Huysmans to Jul. Destrée who wanted to read Mallarmé's poems which remained unpublished at the time. Verified through Huysmans' correspondence sold on the same day as this manuscript. As evidenced in their letters Destrée did seek out the help of his friend Huysmans to obtain Mallarmé poems as his work was not readily accessible being for the most part published in journals L'Artiste Les Lettres et les Arts La République des lettres etc. and in the collections of Le Parnasse contemporain. In a letter to Destrée Huysmans wrote You ask me where Mallarmé's poems can be found. They are untraceable but they are in this envelope. Published in 1876 in La République des Lettres they were copied at least the best ones by Le Chat Noir in 1886. I bought two issues which allows me to send them to you. You will see that they are superb written in clear incisive and very strange language. 30 November 1887. It is possible that the poems in this envelope mentioned by Huysmans are the ones Destrée later had bound in this manuscript collection. Huysmans may have copied for Destrée the poems from the journals he only had one copy of and sent him his extra copy of Le Chat Noir from 1886 which included the prose poems Plaintes d'automne Frisson d'hiver I et II and Le Phénomène futur. The writing style of the poems in the collection is indeed very similar to Huysmans' own handwriting his manuscript of his poem collection Le Drageoir à épices displays the same rounded curling style. However Huysmans' handwriting varies considerably depending on the circumstances: novel manuscripts letters first drafts etc. The excessively neat calligraphy of the poems contrasts with the hasty tall and cramped handwriting of sever s. n. hardcover
