manuscript

The rare manuscript - dated between 1830 and 1835 - was discovered by curator Robinson McClellan while he was cataloguing new collections.

The company also asked the authors to release the manuscript on a preprint server, a website where scientists can post preliminary findings.

Having the "typed manuscript...is an extremely rare event", said Sammy Jay, senior literature specialist from the typescript's seller Peter Harrington Rare Books.

Saint-Exupéry's original handwritten manuscript is in New York.

So the following spring, she took the train to New York City to finish her manuscript while living on the Upper West Side with her friend the dancer Lotte Goslaar.
