Description: Paris, Self-published, 1913. 4to. Rebound in cloth-backed marbled boards. 272 p. Printed in 1000 numbered copies. First collected edition. A little foxing, otherwise fine. Contains all six 'Books of the Nameless Love', of which the first two had been published in 1906, but were banned in 1909. Vol. III and IV (the novel 'Fenny Skaller' and the Venetian play 'Ueber die Stufen von Marmor') were written about 1906, but only first published in this edition. Vol. V was brought out in 1909, and Vol. VI is the pamphlet published in 1908 'Gehoer! - Nur einen Augenblick! Ein Schrei.', ('Listen! - Just a moment! A shout') against the Eulenburg scandal. With a twenty-page history of Mackays efforts as a preface for this first collected edition. No publisher is mentioned, only 'Paris' which is probably just a mask. Of the seven book publications under Mackay's pseudonym Sagitta during his life (1864-1933) this is the fifth: SAGITTA 05 (1913). Nice copy hardbound with attractive marbled boards.
