LA REVOCATION DE L’EDIT DE NANTES. 1959.

Paris: Minuit, 1959

18.5 x 12cm, 186pp. Original wrappers. First edition of this volatile work by the author/artist. Here, Klossowski draws upon his own conflicted history as Dominican novice. The title refers to the proclamation of religious tolerance issued by Henry IV, in relation to the Hugenots (1598). The edict was revoked in 1685 by Louis XIV. One of 1,500 numbered copies. A very good+ example with some marks on wrappers that may be nascent foxing.
