Gauchet (Jean Hugues, bookseller-publisher, 2004, pp. 39 and 117) - Riese Hubert, Surrealism and the Book, p. 108: "In 1967, [Ernst] assisted Robert Valançay with the French translations that he later revised for inclusion in Écritures, a collected edition of his writings published in 1970 by Gallimard. The painter's repeated efforts to translate and revise his own text indicate a commitment to writing unusual for a painter").
