Estimate4 000 - 5 000 €
LAMARTINE Alphonse de (1790-1869). autograph manuscript, Chant du Sacre, 1825| notebook of 26 pages on 13 folios (30 x 19.5 cm) numbered 2 to 14 (the first and last folios joined by a strip of gummed paper).
Complete manuscript of the Chant du Sacre, partly unpublished. Inspired by the coronation of Charles X in Reims, this long poem was published by Urbain Canel under the title Le Chant du Sacre ou La Veille des Armes, the day before the solemnity, on May 28, 1825. The manuscript presents numerous and important variants. Thus, during the dialogue between the Archbishop and the King, when the Archbishop asks the King what his duties are, the King answers in 9 verses (5 in the edition)| further on, during the King's prayer, a stanza of 6 verses is crossed out in the manuscript: "I am nothing but a worm of earth"... The end of the poem is entirely different in this manuscript: after the last line of the Te Deum: " A last golden age! "..., a development of 54 lines begins: " But what noise suspending the celestial canticle Rises suddenly to the only one of the holy portico? Thus when the hurricane unchained the airs Against their shaking edges rumble the waves of the seas "... There follows a last dialogue between the Archbishop and Liberty, which ends with these words of the Archbishop: "The universe smiles on you when your king forgives you! In this eternal pact that his virtue gives us Next to your rights your duty is written! It is he who saved you! It is you who crowns him! Reign together in the name of Christ! Provenance: Lamartine archives of the castle of Saint-Point. Attached is a L.A.S. from Captain Jacob DuWall, November 14/24, 1632 (1 p. in-fol. in German), concerning the Thirty Years War.
