A superb, well-preserved copy that easily meets this high grade. Catalogue Note: This is the 2001 Savoy Books edition of Anthony Skene's classic pulp narrative. Published in Manchester, this edition features an introduction by Michael Moorcock, who famously cited Zenith as a primary inspiration for his own iconic character, Elric of Melnibonà . The volume is profusely illustrated, retaining the original artwork from The Sexton Blake Library by F.W. Bennett, Arthur Jones, Eric Parker, Val Reading, and J.H. Valda. Additionally, this specific Savoy edition is distinguished by bespoke chapter heading illustrations by John Coulthart and publisher's notes by Kris Guidio. On the open market, this particular edition has become decidedly scarce and is highly sought after by collectors of early twentieth-century pulp fiction and weird literature. First introduced in 1919 within the pages ofÂUnion Jack, Monsieur Zenith the Albino is a Romanian nobleman turned world-weary gentleman thief. Instantly recognisable by his crimson eyes, stark white hair, and opium-laced cigarettes, Zenith operates with a strict, aristocratic code of honour, engaging in intellectual battles of wits rather than common criminality. Driven by a profound existential ennui, he seeks solace in danger and adventure, making him one of the most compelling and enduring anti-heroes of the pulp era. F.W. Bennett, Arthur Jones, Eric Parker, Val Reading, J.H. Valda, John Coulthart, Kris Guidio (illustrator).…

413 x 285 mm. (16 1/4 x 11 1/8"). Double column, 47 lines of text in a pleasing early gothic hand. One two-line initial "M" in red. With a few lines of marginal notes in a later (16th century?) hand. âProbably lacking a line or two at the head as well as half of one column, scattered light stains with a few darker stains in one corner (touching the text, but still legible), scattered, small wormholes, one half-inch hole affecting a few words of text, and yet a remarkably clean leaf, the remaining text entirely legible. The text here, in a very good hand, is on the death of Saint Martin of Tours. While it is more likely from a Lectionary with the reading for Martinmas (November 11), it could be from a separate copy of Sulpicius. The fourth century founder of French monasticism, Martin of Tours is celebrated as the Soloman of shawls. One of the most beloved episodes of his early life is a the tale that demonstrates the sensible limits of charity: instead of heedlessly surrendering his cloak to a shivering beggar he encounters, he sagely divides it in two, so that both he and the object of his benevolence will be warm. The script here has many lingering features of Carolingian minuscule, and this fact, plus the grand size of the leaf, combine to give it very considerable antique beauty.…
