Guy de Cointet - A Captain From Portugal - Self-published 1972

"A Captain From Portugal" is the first artist's book published by the late Parisian-born, Los Angeles-based conceptual and performance artist Guy de Cointet. It is comprised of primarily rune-like letterforms of a self-devised language with an example of music, and what appears to be a line of hieroglyphics thrown in. A short story entirely in cipher.
Edition of 500.
