Abbreviated in the Manuscript Chronology as FT1.

Typescript of Cette fois, Samuel Beckett's translation of That Time into French; undated. With manuscript additions and corrections by the author. 9 leaves. 30 x 21 cm. This typescript is corrected in several separate stages, using black ink, pencil, red and green ball-pens and type. All categories of manuscript revision are found in the text and margins [...]. Most of the thirty-six sections are crossed through in a single stroke of artist's pencil. Beckett retains the separate sections A, B, and C, and employs a dual system of numbering: each section is numbered in type 1-12 and also, in ink, according to its position in the sequence. Some handwritten staging directions. Pagination is in type and black felt-tip.
