Guillaume APOLLINAIRE, autograph manuscript, Histoire véridique de l'Antéchrist..., [circa 1913?] 7 pages large in-8 (edges of a few pages a little frayed with small cracks, skilfully restored). First unpublished version of the beginning of Le Poète assassiné (published in 1916). The full title is: Histoire véridique de l'Antéchrist ou le mauvais Évangile par un hermaphrodite plongeur de restaurant Berlin 2108. The manuscript is heavily crossed out and corrected. "I piously present myself male and female to declare the marvellous story of a savantasse who stinks more than shit turds poo or dove, depending on which of these synonyms you choose. As far back as we go in past centuries, we are obliged to begin his genealogy with Tiresias, who was male and female, but not at the same time"... Etc. Further on we read: "I thought it would be interesting to know the genealogy of Croniamental"...
