Footnotes

THE EVEN RARER FRENCH TEXT EDITION OF JOYCE'S BROADSHEET PROTEST. Although there are one or two institutional references to Sylvia Beach's French translation of this protest, issued in the same format as the English one (see previous lot), no copies are listed in auction records and there seems to be no record of how many were printed, or whether there was any priority.
