FAREWELL MANUSCRIPT
by JAN CREMER
“I was born…”, would be the first sentence of my book.
And I must definitely be in the title.
I also decided how the cover should look like. Me, as a
writer, on the motorbike, staring right into the lens. I had
already made some sketches.
It was winter, 1958, and I was living in a cheap hotel at
the Place de la Contrescarpe. In Paris, because in those
days that was the place to be if you wanted to conquer
the world. I was 18 and penniless. Art is starvation. In the
evening, when my Algerian girlfriend took the metro
to Place Pigalle where she performed an act in a filthy
striptease bar – to pay for her studies at the Sorbonne – I
started to work. Until midnight I was toiling and the
words splashed out of my pencils and ballpoints. It was
in Paris that I wrote my first sentences. On the back of
billboard posters, on the cheapest block-note paper, I
wrote everything off my chest as they say.
I was wild, hungry and restless. When would it be finished?
When it was too cold to write in my unheated room
during the day, I went to a café around the corner, on the
Rue Mouffetard, where I could sit the whole day with just
one cup of OXO-bouillon without anyone disturbing me.
I taught myself how to write by spelling out the
newspapers when I was young. Sometimes I knew more
about the world’s problems than my teachers at school.
After primary school and one year of secondary school I
started working at a factory. I couldn’t continue studying
because my mother and I lived in poverty and I couldn’t
be tamed at home, at school or on the streets.
I became a Government Pupil and I was placed under
supervision. “Continue studying” was the advice I
received from the career counsellor and so I qualified for
the Amsterdam School of Graphics.
I could have gotten a Government scholarship, but I had
to pull out because I didn’t even have enough money to
buy a cup of coffee at the train.
A few years later I ended up in Ibiza. After a successful
year as a painter, I became penniless again. Because
there was no money for paint and canvas, I put all my
effort into writing my book. Feverish, sometimes long
after midnight, I was working in my house in the Peña.
I learned how to type with two fingers instead of one. I
could barely pay the deposit and rent of the machines
I got from the local bookshop. I wrote on everything I
could possibly lay my hands on. Block notes, blank
newspaper, scrap paper.
When I ran into debt and had no typewriter, I continued
writing with a ballpoint until I was able again to rent a
new machine. The pile of papers grew higher and higher
and suddenly it was there: the whole manuscript. I was 22
and I finished a book. The book.
In the spring of 1964 it got published and I moved from
Holland, to America and further on. I lived and worked all
over the world. Always on the move, travelling.
Everywhere I went, I took my boxes, suitcases, and bags
with me. I never went anywhere without my clothes,
books, paint, typewriter and The Manuscript that I
proudly cherished as if it were part of my body. Together
with all my other stuff it slowly disappeared in the pile
of my messy, scattered belongings. Sometimes I panicked
because I thought I’d lost it. Then I called everyone
around the globe only to discover that it was lying in the
wardrobe of a girlfriend in Stockholm where I’d left it after
I’d taken it with me from New York to do some additional
work for the next edition. My trunks and suitcases became
a heavy load. I couldn’t find anything. And it became an
even heavier load when in the nineties the manuscript
of De Avonden from my beloved friend Gerard Reve was
offered on the market. More and more people told me
that my manuscript was very valuable. I decided that I
had to keep it in a safe at my publisher’s. I received some
attractive proposals, and, in my opinion, got offered
enormous amounts of money. But I know nothing about
money. I’m an artist. The Manuscript became a heavy load
and I had to get rid of it somewhere along the way. Why
would I take my troubles with me as if it were a fellow
traveller? More often, various institutes and collectors
took interest in the manuscript. But before I’ll lose my
child again I want to ensure that it will be in good hands
and be taken care of properly. So: goodbye manuscript.
Fare thee well.

mentioned in the description (“others”), or items marked “w.a.f.” (“with all faults”) or “n.s.t.r.” (“not subject to return”).
2. In accordance with established sale conditions, the purchaser has to pay an extra charge of 23,8% (incl. taxes; 20 % for buyers outside the

competent to decide in first instance.

and there after 10% of the current bid). Irregular written bids will be handled in the same way (€ 41 will be read as € 45, € 505 as € 550, etc.).

(1.500-2.500)
Splendid publication. The title translates: “Great Simulacrum
of the Use of the Sword, by Ridolfo Capo Ferro da Cagli, Master
of the most excellent German Nation in the famous City of
Siena.” (probably a reference to Capoferro’s role as fencing
master to the large German fraternity at the University of
Siena). This title fully represents its contents: “Of all the Italian
works on fencing, none ever had such a share in fixing the
principles of the science.” (Thimm). A second edition (with
44 plates) was published in 1652. The extensive treatise is
divided in a few introductory chapters followed by numerous
illustrated practical examples. Ridolfo Capoferro, active in
Siena, developed theories and a specific system that were only
improved and refined by Rosaroll Scorza and Grisetti in their
work La scienza della Scherma (...), 1803. Good copy.- (Re-cased

fields. (4), XXXVIII, 247, (3); X, (4), 215, (1) pp. (1.500-2.000)
Very rare first edition of this work
on fighting and fencing. The

the same publisher. A third edition

First edition of a revolutionary course in fencing by Guillaune
Danet, Royal fencing master at Paris and teacher of the Prince
de Conty, to whom the work was dedicated. The new principles
taught by Danet went against everything taught up till then at
the Paris ‘Académie d’Armes’. The Academy also tried with all
its might to suppress the teaching of these new principles at the
fencing school that Danet had founded at Paris; the Academy’s
attempts, however, remained unsuccessful. Good copy.- (Spine
and corners skilfully restored, plates slightly soiled). Vigeant pp.

Second edition of an important and lavishly illustrated fencing
manual by Salvator Fabris, fencing teacher to Christian IV of
Denmark, with the same illustrations as the first edition, engr. by Jan
van Halbeeck and Francesco Valesio. The colophon (p. 256) is pasted
over with a loosening strip of illustrated paper, which reveals that
the book was printed by Hendrich Waltkirch, who also printed the
first edition in 1606. Good copy.- (Some leaves strengthened; some
browning and offsetting). Vigeant 56; Thimm, 97; Pardoel 898
by Johann Joachim Hynitzsch and printed by Michael Vogt, with
German and Italian in parallel columns. Vigeant, Thimm and
Pardoel mention an edition of the same date, printed by ‘Michael
Boge’; the name Vogt, printed in Gothic type, must have been
misread. The Italian-born Salvator Fabris was a fencing teacher
to Christian IV of Denmark. His influential manual was first
published in 1606 and reprinted and translated several times.
The translator, a fencing master in his own right, studied under
Heinrich von und zum Velde (1585-1662). Given the fact that the
latter died in 1662, he could not possibly have patronised this
edition, as Thimm suggests. Good copy.- (Skilfully re-backed
with the original spine laid down, covers slightly worm, some
wormholes in lower cover, bookplate of Jack Gorlin to upper
paste-down). Thimm, p. 97; Vigeant 57; Pardoel 899

Rare, beautifully illustrated first edition of one of the earliest
text books for young noblemen on the art of fencing,
introducing important improvements in the theory of the
art and teaching a very much simpler method than that of
Marozzo. The author was fencing master at Treviso. His work
teaches the art of fencing still in the wider frame of its early
days, not only teaching the art of fencing with the single rapier,
the rapier and dagger, the cloak and rapier, etc., but also fighting
with the sword and round target, the square target, with the
two-handed sword, with the weapons of the staff, etc. It also
deals with “falsing” and with specific bodily exercises. Grassi’s
work was translated into English in 1594. Fine copy.- (Book plate

Three very rare and richly illustrated fencing manuals, edited
by fencing master Sebastian Heussler. Ad 1 concentrates on
pure swordplay, Ad 2 treats fighting with rapier and dagger and
Ad 3, finally, depicts fighting with rapier and mantle as well as
some other techniques. The three works are compiled from
various French and Italian sources, especially from the manuals
of Salvator Fabris. Heussler was the first to introduce Italian
fencing in Germany. His work was very successful, judging from
the reprints of 1630, 1665 and 1716-1717. Good copies.- (Spine

Rare re-issue, with a cancel title-leaf, of the first edition,
published in 1687 as The Scots fencing-master. This charmingly
illustrated fencing manual was reprinted several times, but
most of these reprints are in fact reissues, printed from the same
setting of type and furnished with a new title-page. William
Hope (1660-1724), a famous Scottish master, was knighted in
1698 and published several works on fencing, which were a great
stimulus to Scottish fencing. Good copy.- (Slightly warped,

Rare and important fencing treatise by “the principal authority
on the subject on University fence schools (...)” (Thimm),
incorporating an account of the Kreussler’sche Schule. The
author was fighting-master at the Georgius Augustus University
at Göttingen. He introduced the term Kreusslerische Schule,
considering Wilhelm Kreussler (1673) as the founder of fencing
with the rapier. He was also one of the so-called Marxbrüder,
fencers focusing completely on fighting with the rapier,
following Fabris, Giganti and Cavalcabo. Fine copy in attractive

(1.000-1.500)
Attractive edition of an important and early work on fencing.
The first edition appeared in 1536 and was reprinted several
times thereafter. This is probably the second edition which
appeared undated ca. 1540 dedicated to Count Guido Rangone
(d. 1539). It has the same title-page, collation and woodcuts as
the 1550 edition, but a differently set text, a different woodcut
on verso of leaf 28, and the text in the lower half of leaf 126 verso
is printed upside down. The woodcuts, depicting the use of the
sword, the pike and the dagger, are partly monogrammed ‘b’,
‘bR’ and ‘d’, identified by Nagler as Francenso Barattini Romano.
The work is divided into five chapters, each dealing with specific
weapons. The final part of the work, beautifully printed in
various shapes, is devoted to knife-fighting. Good copy.- (Joints

in separate chapters for the exercises and training of the various
positions of the hands and feet, while in the last chapters the

First edition of a thorough work on fencing. Rosaroll and
Grisetti based their fencing principles on the Neapolitan system
of fencing, which was in its turn based on the 16th- and 17th
century Italian rapier play. The work is rather complicated
because of the many calculations and formulae which the
authors use in order to evaluate and compare force, velocity and
power of fencing. The 10 folding plates show 10 pairs of men.
The work was reprinted 3 times. The present copy is SIGNED
by both authors on page 358. Good copy.- (Lower part of spine

Johannes Gerhard Frederik van Overmeer Fisscher (1800-1848),
a Dutch civil servant, departed at an early age to the Dutch East
Indies. From 1820-29 he spent 9 years at Deshima as the secretary
and director of the warehouses, making the journey to Edo in
1822. He became close friends with several Japanese intellectuals
and artists and built up a Japan-collection, which is now housed
in the Rijksmuseum voor Volkenkunde at Leiden. The present
edition was published during his leave in Holland (1830-35). The
contents of the work range from the customs and religion of
the Japanese people to the dress, their way of life and the aspect
of their towns, including sections on flora and fauna and on life
in the factory at Deshima. “Fisscher succeeded in producing
a highly informative book which played an important role in
introducing Europeans to the still little-known land that was
Japan” (Nipponalia). Very good copy.- (Binding sl. soiled, some

(1.800-2.500)
First and only edition of this most important description of the
city of Delft, usually ascribed to Reinier Boitet, a bookseller
and poet at Delft. The work is based on the earlier description
of Delft by Dirk Evertsz. van Bleyswijck (1640-1681), the
Beschryvinge der stad Delft, (Delft, Arnold Bon, 1667; NijhoffVan Hattum 29) and large parts of Van Bleyswijck’s text are
reprinted by Boitet. Boitet also re-used 16 of Van Bleyswijck’s
plates. The work was compiled, or edited by Reinier Boitet with
the cooperation of Hugo van Heussen, Hendrik van Ryn, and
above all the famous Dutch poet Hubert Cornelisz. Poot. The
result is a magnificent and updated description of one of the
major cities of Holland.On the verso of the half-title a poem
by Hendrik Schim, explaining the facing frontispiece; after the
preface (8 pp.) follows a laudatory poem by Schim (3 pp.) and
an instruction for the binder; after the text is an index on 14 pp.

on January 14. According to the letter, Schweitzer was very

Great Unknown). Furthermore he tells of his struggle to finish
the village he is building for the 250 lepers he treats in his ever

First edition of the authorized Dutch version of the Bible. This
first edition, also called the ‘Standaardbijbel’ or ‘Corrigeerbijbel’,
must be considered a true monument in Dutch history and
for Dutch language, and it was only published after many
troublesome years of combined effort of translators, the States
General and printers. The new type of Bible is also a monument
of Dutch typography of the seventeenth century: letter,
typesetting, printing, layout, all deserve the highest praise. In
1618 the Synod of the Dutch Reformed Church decided to make
an authorized translation of the Bible in Dutch. ADDED: 5 engr.
folding maps, dated 1642 and published by Claes Jansz. Visscher,
and one folding engr. map of the Holy Land (‘Chorographia
terræ sanctæ’) published in Antwerp by Johannes Galle (Ca.
1635). In 1642 Claes Jansz. Visscher published 6 maps exclusively
meant for copies of the States version of the Bible. Good copy.(Spine rubbed, top and bottom damaged). Darlow & Moule

Ad 1: Extremely rare Latin edition of this set of striking
anatomical ills., depicting a pregnant uterus of a woman in

as a surgeon in France, but by 1757 he probably had been
teaching anatomy in England for some years. He published two
anatomical works, illustrated with mezzotint plates, a technique
little-used for anatomical ills.. Of the present work a English
edition was published in the same year, followed by Dutch
and German editions with the plates newly engr. According

Two rare treatises against belief in witchcraft and magic by Simon

the popular belief in witchcraft, much like Balthasar Bekker
did half a century earlier. The first treatise, an adaptation of a
work by Scipio Maffei, was first published in 1761 as Das große
Welt betrügende Nichts . The second treatise is a refutation of
criticism brought forward against the latter work. Good copies.(Binding rubbed, Ad 1: f. D1 torn with sl. loss of text). Ad 1: not in

One of the most famous and wittiest Dutch emblem books, with

The work consists of 3 series of 50 emblems, every series ending
with a ‘conclusion’, and a fourth series of 10 emblems, called the
Minne-poppen, or emblems of love. Unlike the mythological
iconography of classic emblems, Visscher simply depicts objects
or subjects from daily life and by a keenly chosen arrangement
or action comes directly to his point in a clear, yet entertaining
way. The preliminaries contain two laudatory poems by J. Cats
and J. van den Vondel. Fine copy.- (Armorial bookplate on upper

Influenced by Goya and other printmakers, Klinger’s work laid
the foundation for the future German Expressionists. His images
rely on uncanny juxtapositions, irrational uses of scale, and
awkward points of view to create intriguing scenes that are often
uncomfortable and mysterious. He freely combined elements of
fantasy and reality, classical mythology, Christianity, German
literature and contemporary philosophy. All plates in very fine

Subirachs (Barcelona, 1927), one of the most famous sculptors in
Spain, is the creator of numerous public monuments, including
the famous Passion Façade of the temple of the Sagrada Familia.
Owing to the knowledge obtained in the workshop of Enric
Casanovas, Subirachs covers different aesthetics that vary from
the classicism to the noucentist, from the informalism to the
expressionism, and from the abstraction to the neo-figurative
art, that places him in the centre of the Catalan avant-garde
of the ‘50s and ‘60s. After his first exhibition in the Casa del
Llibre (Book house) in Barcelona (1948), he is granted with a
scholarship by the French Institute, which allows him to work
in France and Belgium and get to know these countries. Ad 1: In

Charming Album Amicorum of a Nuremberg lady with ca.
30 contributions, mostly in German, and a few in French,

VALI MYERS
Artist and Model
Her face became one of the icons of modern photography,
but Vali Myers already was an artist herself when Ed
van der Elsken made her the heroine of his legendary
debut, Een liefdesgeschiedenis in Saint-Germain-des-Prés (Love on
the left bank). She left Australia as a dancer, but started to
make fine pen and ink drawings in Paris, some of which
incorporated in the book. Although Van der Elskens
poème-en-photos guaranteed her immortality when she was
only 26, she continued to inspire and create until the age
of 72, when she died in Melbourne. Her very flamboyant
presence also entered the work of Tenessee Williams as
“Carol” in Orpheus Descending, was filmed while tattooing
Patti Smith with a lightning bolt on her knee cap, was the
subject of films and documentaries, including “Death in
Port Jackson Hotel” by Van der Elsken again and her work
was bought by The Rolling Stones, not to mention all
her other famous acquaintances. “I’ve had 72 absolutely
flaming years”, she said shortly before dying and the
collection offered here makes this very clear, from her
early days in bohemian Paris captured by Van der Elsken’s
camera to her latter life in Amsterdam, in Dublin, in New
York, near Positano and back in Australia of which confess
her own work and her warm correspondence with ‘Gerard
PHOTOGRAPHY
and Ron’, the Dutchmen that offered her a second home
at the Amsterdam Chelsea (see below)

THE AMSTERDAM CHELSEA HOTEL
Hotel Amstelhuys
‘The Amstelhuys in Amsterdam was built in 1633 and used since 1670
as a hotel for artists. It was a Dutch counterpart of the ‘Chelsea Hotel’ in
New York, a residence for artists, musicians, writers, philosophers. Vali
Myers, artist and model of Ed van der Elsken in Paris, was a painter and
lived in Positano, Italy. She was a frequent guest of the Hotel Amstelhuys
and a good friend of the owners Gerard van Geldorp and Ron Leeh. Van
der Elsken made a film about her in 1972: ‘Death in the Port Jackson
Motel’ and gave her the above photos of ‘Saint Germain des Prés’. She
left them to Gerard and Ron to express her gratitude for their hospitality.
In 1980 the doors were closed and in 1982 the police had to clear the
building

and it seems like heaven”

Bird”, “Never Never Land”, and “Dream of the Billabong” for
my exhibition at the Peter Stuyvesant Foundation [...]” (h).
Vali expresses her feelings about the Hotel Amstelhuys and
the owners often: “Sometimes I think about the hotel and ‘my
green room’ and it seems like heaven” (d); I don’t know if you’re
realized it, but sometimes sitting with you both, and Sammy
watching T.V. was a special kind of heaven for me” (c); She tells
about her travels and the life in Italy: “In Frankfurt, a young
customs policeman (a real silly-billy) got it into his head that I
was a terrorist!!! Imagine a tattooed terrorist!!!” (g); “Went to the
hairdresser here in Positano, and had a cold wave, which came
out looking like a breton hairstyle. So I no longer look like the
wild woman from Borneo” (e)

illustrative engravings in books, such as the Heritage Press

Copy with various printer’s proofs and designs. With 3 revised

A. With 4 original silver prints of the photos made in Greonterp
while posing for the illustrations by Thomas Koolhaas, showing
Reve with a whip and “Loodgietend Prijsdier” as his victim. The
setting with the young plants, his spotted cap with paint or
birdshit, his tie, but especially the gene of Reve as ‘master’ with
his slave, make the pictures not useful for the ‘leatherscene’.
But it is clear that the photos are used for the book: Reves watch
is identical to the one on the cover.
B. Proof with 4 textp., 1 title illustration (the face of a woman!
instead of Reve) and a cover with a naked bottom instead of the
weeping boy.
