[Paris], [1924 or 1925]
Gift of Sean and Mary Kelly, 2018.
Joyce commissioned at least 9 copies of two distinct typed schemata in November 1921 to assist Valery Larbaud and Jacques Benoist-Méchin in their preparation for the "séance consacrée à James Joyce," 7 Dec. 1921.
Library's copy bears some similiarity to other versions reproduced in the James Joyce archive (e.g. Buffalo MS V.A.1.b.1), however it is smaller, lacks the preponderence of colons and miscellaneous punctuation, has no title heading, and uses the American spelling of 'color.' The Nestor's scene is given as The Nouse; the arts in the Telemachia are capitalized.
This copy of the schema accompanied the library's copy of the 1924 edition of Ulysses, inscribed by Joyce to the composer George Antheil, 13 May 1925 (cataloged as PML 197792); the schema was folded and mounted in the book by the 1980s, later separated and enclosed in a pocket on the front paste-down; by 1999, laid into separate portfolio.
Dimensions of each of the four joined sheets: 13.7 x 17; 13.7 x 20.5; 13.7 x 19.5; 13.7 x 19 cm.
1 item (4 pages, joined) ; 13.8 x 76.8 cm
