Scope and content

Typewritten French translations of poems by Cavafy ("Au mois d’Athyr", "Sur Ammonis mort à 29 ans, en 610", "Ithaque"), on two sheets and two double sheet notepapers; the poem "Ithaque" written on the latter. On each double sheet notepaper, the same part of the poem is repeated twice, on the first and third pages; this is why number "2" is noted on each sheet of the second double sheet notepaper. On the rest of the sheets, numbers "2" and "4" are noted in pencil. Handwritten emendations on the poem "Au mois d'Athyr" as well as typewritten explanatory footnote, regarding a verse of the poem. The name of H. Pernot Pernot as translator is noted, either handwritten or typewritten.
