Exemplaire de Stanislas de Guaita, martiniste, fondateur de l'ordre kabbalistique de la Rose-Croix, qui a apposé son nom manuscrit sur la couverture et un timbre humide à son nom sur le plat inférieur de la couverture. Verlaine, emprisonné à Bruxelles puis à Mons (pour avoir tiré sur Arthur Rimbaud) chargea son ami d'enfance Edmond Lepelletier de faire imprimer cette plaquette, composée en grande partie lors de sa fugue en Angleterre et en Belgique avec Rimbaud en 1872-1873. Verlaine en surveilla l'impression de sa cellule, expédiant ses corrections qui ne furent pas toujours prises en compte. En mars 1874, au reçu de son petit volume, il demanda s'il n'était pas possible de corriger les quelques coquilles à la main sur tous les exemplaires.
