Original manuscript JAMMES (Francis) Autograph manuscript of Lavigerie, [1927]. In-4 in sheets, about 125 pages. The manuscript is abundantly crossed out and corrected, and presents great differences with the final text; some pages are in double version; some passages (notably quotations) are in another hand (his daughter?), with autograph corrections. Chapter XIX (The Two Epitaphs) is not included here and must have been added later. ½ tan morocco with band and cover, gilt title on smooth spine, manuscript in white flap folder, all in sheathed slipcase. Nice copy. First draft and working manuscript of Lavigerie, this beautiful biography of the bishop of Algiers, primate of Africa and founder of the White Fathers, which appeared with Flammarion in 1927 in the collection Les Grands Coeurs.
