Paris, Maeght, 1978, in-folio in sheets under filled cover soiled, under emboitage of unbleached cloth.

The texts were written by Pierre de Calan, Philippe Clément, Jean Janiaud and Paul Vialar. Georges Bonnin, director of the national printing house in Paris, was kind enough to have the so-called "Romain de Roi" characters specially cast, according to the original punches engraved by Philippe Grandjean, to serve the typography which was completed on the presses of the national printing house on January 25, 1978.
