Nut and Strumming the Stars

Just looking for a reference about the stars being strummed into being. The book I need is on the shelf back home!
Not quite what I want, but thought i'd start collating related articles or myths here to add to in  the future:
Nut as sky goddess
Wikipedia: Nut
The great one who comes forth: Iusaaset. Perhaps it was her strumming?

*Thanks Hannah for solving the mystery with the original book, scanner and email (analogue/digital/post... encounter?)


The book is called 'Dawn of the Seasons' by Michel Duch^ene.
Published in 1984 by Les ^Editions de la Agora - SA - Geneve in association with the Hamlyn Publishing Group Limited, England.  ISBN 0 600 30849 9
 
'Nan' is the celestial troubadour who appeared out of the stars and played his lyre.
