[1] Mécanisme et Dynamisme: loi fonctionnelle de la création, with a paradoxical, even absurd, self-epigraph: "All creation lies in this mathematical axiom: 3 is the product of the two halves of 1 and, in the algebraic symbol, - and - = + and -". Paris, published by the author, 1901. Two parts in one In-8 volume (150 × 230 mm). Same binding as the previous volume. First edition with autograph dispatch. [2] The Origin of Light and its Generative Function. Paris, A. Maloine, 1915. In-8 (130 × 200 mm), paperback. First edition with autograph dispatch.
