Edition
First soft cover edition ("last one hundred copies").
Notes
Soft cover pamphlet; one of three variant bindings of this item - this one being the variant green binding and noted in the colophon as one of the "last one hundred copies" printed. This pamphlet is Merton's translation from the Latin original of a letter written 'at the Grand Chartreuse in the last days of his Priorate about 1135' to an unknown friend by Guigo I (circa 1083-1136), also known as Guigo the Carthusian, a Carthusian monk and the 5th prior of the Grande Chartreuse monastery, in the Chartreuse Mountains, north of the city of Grenoble, in the commune of Saint-Pierre-de-Chartreuse (Isere), France. 'There is an inimitable naked power in the austere style of Guigo the Carthusian from which every suggestion of ornament, indeed every useless word is ruthlessly excluded,' says Merton. 'The extraordinary compression of this thought and language convey something of the fervor, the passionate seriousness of this saint and genius, a pure exemplar of the Carthusian spirit and certainly the greatest Carthusian writer.'

Newsprint broadside. Pax was a "magazine" of poetry and art in which the work was the free contribution of the artists themselves "as their way of working toward an appreciation of the ideal of an enduring peace: the work of justice, the fruit of love". Pax was edited and published by Robert Lax (close friend to Merton) from the offices of Jubilee magazine starting in the mid-1950’s to the early 1960’s and was revived for a few minor issues in the 1980’s. This item is part of a portfolio in this collection of Pax items that contains the following:
