Item
Scope and Contents
This manuscript is badly faded due to exposure to sunlight; almost all of the lyrics on the first page are illegible (a few are visible using magnification) while those on page 2 are faded but legible. There is an authenticator's attestation at the top of page 1: "Melodie autographe de Gabriel Fauré." Among the legible lyrics are, toward the end, "il la poursuit" (repeated) and, at the end, "elle s'en fuit."
