2007ref. 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.

Short title in ink on the back. Engraved title with the portrait of the first love of the neolatin poet Janus Secundus Julia locked within a kind of medallion and surrounded by 2 cornucopiae; the text reads: 'Vatis amatoris Iulia sculpta manu' i.e. 'a portrait sculped by the hand of the author'. On p. 10 verso an almost full-page engraved portrait of Janus Secundus himself holding in his hand the medal or medallion he made with the portrait of Julia; underneath the portrait a 4 line poem by his brother Hadrianus Marius Condition: Vellum age-tanned. Front pastedown detached. Some irregular pagination Note: 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 where his father was appointed president of the 'High Council'. This town was 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 live 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 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.
