LANDAU Sigmund. FLEG Edmond - Listen to Israel.
S.l. (Casablanca and Paris), Éditions de la Cigogne, 1948.
In-4, leaves in folder and slipcase. Text by Edmond Fleg illustrated with 44 original etchings by Sigmund Landau.
One of 31 copies numbered 16 to 46, initialed by the author and the artist, with 2 original sketches, a suite of 14 unpublished preparatory etchings, 1 inked copperplate, 2 rejected leaves with typography and 3 illustrations.
The finest edition to date of a major text in French-language Jewish literature. Following the recent publication of Haïm Korsia's book (Ma vie avec Edmond Fleg, Gallimard), there is renewed interest in this charismatic figure of French Judaism. Edmond Fleg (1874-1963) has written a sublime book with a Biblical and Hugolian flavour, a Légende dorée du judaïsme in which "the Jewish tradition and the French tradition" are brought together.
