2025Best.-Nr. 10907Gefn Janus and Plowboy Presses 2025. Original Wrappers. Fine binding. Accordion. 9-1/2" x 4-3/4" closed. 12 pp. Limited edition one of 100 copies. Signed by Johankneckt Van Vliet and Miller-Brown at the colophon. As issued in stiff wrappers of Barcham Green India Office illustrated with an image of Bach's last known musical score the unfinished Fugue of The Art of the Fugue. The accordion style structure designed by Van Vliet folds into 12 unnumbered pages that read parallel to the folds recto and verso. All housed in a handmade paper slipcase with "fugal" printed on the spine. A fine copy. A wonderful collaboration between Susan Johanknecht Claire Van Vliet and Andrew Miller-Brown. Inspired by Bach Fugues Johanknecht's poem is printed on the recto of accordion-fold. As Van Vliet and Miller-Brown were puzzling over the project last fall it became apparent that the lines could be read aloud in any order. This morphed into the accumulating text on the verso. True to the musical definition of a fugue this presentation of the poem develops through repetition and interweaving. A wonderful homage to the musical form and to Bach in particular; all the while developing into something that is not merely an homage. Gefn, Janus, and Plowboy Presses unknown

A wonderful book of poetry wonderfully illustrated by Luck; and here beautifully designed and printed in the inimitable fashion of the Janus Press. And few Janus Press books are issued without some novel playfulness or unique element to their structure. Here a three-leaf section with short "grook" poems one on top and one on the bottom of each page that has a horizontal cut across the middle so the top and bottom of each leaf turn independently allowing the reader to navigate these several poems in a less prescriptive manner.

It was according to Brunet actually published in Paris by Barbou. He does not explain but the printer's mark paper printing and layout looks indeed very Barbou. The Short Title Catalogue Netherlands STCN is not sure either about Leiden it adds 'printed in France' § In Latin elegiac and epigrammatic poetry from Roman times to the Renaissance there is constant reference to the 'poetry of youth' as 'standing in contrast to a kind of poetry suitable to be written in old age. The poets characterize the latter poetry as serious moral and austere touching on wars and politics and patriotism. The former is filled with passion and exuberance concerned not with weighty national issues but with jokes and laughter and erotic affaires'. K.M. Summers 'The Iuvenilia of Marc-Antoine Muret' Columbus 2006 p. XXV-XXVI § The first edition of 'poemata juvenilia' of the young Calvinist theologian Theodore de Bèze or Theodorus Beza 1519-1605 was published in Paris in 1548. 'It had certain rather free pieces printed which were afterwards made a matter of bitter reproach against him. He therefore suppresed them in the following editions'. Ebert This first edition including the erotic love poems which Beza later regretted having ever published was clandestinely reprinted. Beza was considered to be among the best Neo-Latin poets of his time. He is however best known for his Latin translation of the New Testament his critical Greek edition of the New Testament and for being the founder of the University of Geneva. § The Frenchman Marc Antoine Muret latinized as Marcus Antonius Muretus 1526-1585 'exemplifies the essence of French Renaissance humanism. A master of Latin and student of Classical Antiquity he not only engaged in the recovery and exposition of ancient texts he also actively employed the old genres and skills in the contemporary ecclesiastical and public spheres. He wrote Latin poetry both sacred and profane delivered public orations in Latin and lectured in various schools throughout France and Italy on authors as diverse as Catullus and Tacitus and on topics as varied as Greek philosophy and Roman law'. K.M. Summers 'The Iuvenilia of Marc-Antoine Muret' Columbus 2006 p. XIII His 'Iuveninlia' were first published in 1552. § The Dutch neolatin poet Janus Secundus Nicolai Hagiensis was born on the 15th of november 1511 the day of the martyr Secundus in The Hague. He died very young in 1536. In 1528 he moved to Mechelen the residence of the Austrian vicequeen Margaretha of Parma. The southern part of the Netherlands was in this time the center of a florishing urban civilization. In May 1530 Secundus met a young prostitute from Mechelen called Julia and fell in love with her. Julia became the subject of his first book of elegies his 'Julia Monobiblos' in which he tells how he won and lost his love. During his studies in Bourges under the famous jurist Alciati he wrote his first 'Basia'. Alciati introduced Secundus there also to the newest Italian poetry. A humanist poet often started his career with erotic poetry like Piccolomini and Beza. Secundus' 'kiss-poems' are a variation on two 'kiss-poems' of the Latin poet Catullus ca. 84-54 B.C who became during the Renaissance a model for love-poetry. Secundus wrote in his short life 6835 lines of poetry of which only 425 lines were printed during his lifetime. He wrote 'with equal fluency all kinds of lyrical heroic and elegiac verse. Down to the present day Secundus lives in literary history as the kissing poet' . 'Until far in the 18th century Secundus is mentioned as one of the classics of love poetry' IJsewijn Companion to Neo-Latin studies I Leuven 1990 p. 152 The first edition of his collected works was posthumely published in 1541 in Utrecht and was edited by Secundus brother Marius. § After the poems of Janus Secundus we find 46 pages with the 'Pancharis Joan. Bonefonii Averni ad Jacobum Guellium p. 111-156 Provenance: On the verso of the front flyleaf: 'John Wordsworth Edinburgh 1827'. This is the English classical scholar John Wordsworth 1805-1839 nephew of the Romantic poet William Wordsworth. 'In October 1824 he entered Trinity College Cambridge. His university career was distinguished. In 1825 he obtained the Bell scholarship in 1826 a scholarship at his own college and was second for the Porson prize; in 1827 he obtained it. In 1828 he proceeded to the B.A. degree but was disqualified for classical honours through distaste for mathematics. In 1830 he was elected fellow of his college. . In 1834 he was appointed a classical lecturer in Trinity College and undertook to edit Richard Bentley's Correspondence afterwards completed by his brother Christopher Wordsworth'.

2007Best.-Nr. 9781Newark VT: Janus Press 2007. Wrappers. Fine binding. Oblong octavo. 26 ll. illus. Limited edition one of 150 numbered copies. Van Vliet's woven strip binding contains 12 printed leaves alternating with 14 illusion polycarbonate and flexible vinyl leaves all laid into a vinyl wrapper and housed in acrylic slipcase. Some of the vinyl leaves have started to break down their oils leaching into and discolor the paper leaves an unexpected and according to Van Vliet perfectly fitting result. This book is referential of the author's earlier Hermetic Waste Gefn Press 1986 that was issued the summer after the Chernobyl disaster. She writes in an artist statement: "The collagraph prints in Hermetic Waste were derived from alchemical engravings - here in Waste Incant the calligraphic line drawings are derived from science illustrations in children's text books. Redrawn and merging the pictorial 'facts' depict a disrupted 'nature.' Poetic texts sit inside the imagery functioning as an integrated caption. They describe processes by which toxic material enters into the environment. The back of each page lists hazardous wastes. Plastic interleaving features in both books referencing materials used in the storage of waste. How little has changed in twenty years." In her Grolier Club catalog to the collection of Robert J. Rubin Yvonne Korshak echoes and expands Johanknecht's statement of Waste Incant: "The book in its acrylic case is a statement about the storage of nuclear waste in plastic. The line drawings are derived from children's textbooks redrawn to show a disrupted nature. The toxic wastes listed partially alphabetically are printed on both sides of the embossed paper each page separated by a plastic sheet. The unstable and hence inappropriate and hazardous use of plastic to contain toxic waste is emphasized by the diverse deformations of each of the plastic sheets. "How fascinating that the book is immaculate and glamorous while its topic - waste - implies what's dirty and distasteful. The ironic disjunction dramatizes the tension between the allure of easy labor magical communications and other seductions of our high tech culture and the tarnished other side of the coin deadly byproducts with tenacious half-lives. The book uses the very products it condemns. We can't do without it can we" Yvonne Korshak and Robert J. Rubin. Beyond the Text: Artists' Books from the Collection of Robert J. Ruben.

'Until far in the 18th century Secundus is mentioned as one of the classics of love poetry' IJsewijn Companion to Neo-Latin studies I Leuven 1990 p. 152 The first edition of his collected works was posthumously published in 1541 in Utrecht and was edited by Secundus brother Marius. All later editions are based on this edition. The manuscript with the collected works used for this edition came later in the possession of the Dutch classicist Petrus Scriverius 1576-1660. He produced a new edition in 1612 in which he also incorporated poems of Secundus which had been omitted in the 1541 edition because they were thought to be disagreeable to the French and English king. In this second edition of 1631 Scriverius incorporated more material from other sources and manuscripts. Best source for Secundus is J.P. Guépin 'De kunst van Janus Secundus' Amst. 1991. It opens with 18 page with 'testimoni'a and 'iudicia' on Secundus. After the poems of Secundus Scriverius added some poems of his brother Marius: 'Cymba amoris et alia poemata'. p. 249/266 This is followed by Secundus' prose letters though with some poetry that he wrote during his 3 voyages through France and his trip to Spain. p. 269/345 At the end have been added some letters and a treatise on the family of Secundus 'De Nicolao Patre & gente Nicolaia' Collation: 8between leaf 4 and 5 have been inserted the leaves pi5 and pi6 4; A-Q12 Between the gatherings C and D the pagination of 72/79 is skipped.Leaf H11 p. 195/96 misnumbered 159/196 is a cancel.
