Months, or perhaps years, ago, I remember that I read a thread in this group where a member planned to produce a short Arthurian work, or something similar, and asked about characters.
I am too lazy to search for that thread now, but I remember that I thought then that "Libra" would be perfect for such a work, particularly if it were to be illustrated by wood engravings.
The Knight and the Lion was illustrated by Michel Jamar

The book was printed by Robert Blanchet.

>1 cupidum: that is absolutely beautiful.
I'm glad it's in French, which I can read only partially and with great labor, so that I am not otherwise tempted.
The previous title that a poster was considering figuring out how to release was The Life of Merlin.
