The Rothamsted library copy of an early edition of the first complete Latin translation by Saxon humanist Janus Cornarius c. 1500-1558 of the Geoponica: the only extant Byzantine agricultural treatise first published in 1538. A twenty-book compendium of agricultural lore the Geoponica was compiled in the tenth-century at Constantinople during the Macedonian Renaissance and dedicated to emperor Constantine VII Porphyrogenitus. The anonymous work is often erroneously ascribed to seventh-century author Cassianus Bassus whose collection also titled Geoponica itself derived from a fourth- century text by agricultural compiler Vindonius Anatolius was integrated into the extant work. The primary sources for the text include Pliny's Naturalis Historia the now lost writings of various Hellenistic and Graeco-Roman agriculture and veterinary authors Carthaginian agronomist Mago and works purporting to originate with Persian prophet Zoroaster. The Geoponica embraces all manner of 'agricultural' information inter alia celestial and terrestrial omina viticulture oleoculture apiculture veterinary medicine and the construction of fish ponds. . 8vo.

ref. 9779Newark VT: Janus Press 2018. Original Wrappers. Fine binding. Quarto. 2 24 ll. illus. Limited edition of one hundred numbered copies. Signed by Dawes and Gregg at the colophon. In a glued leaf binding in printed Canal paper covers. Gregg's drawings have been digitally printed here with Dawes's holographic poems letterpress printed from polymer plates around the drawings. Accompanying this is a smaller french-fold chapbook printed with matching foliation all housed in clamshell with maple wood sides in a slipcase with printed paper label. A fine copy. The chapbook offers a transcription of the holographic poems in the main work-though Dawes's handwriting is plenty legible. Additionally a short "Poet's Note" at the beginning of this chapbook describes his process of writing these poems in response to Gregg's drawings of Vallarta. He writes: "The poems collected here represent the most exciting part of making poems for me which is writing the first draft in that breakneck pace of someone in search of what a poem is offering and doing so with faith that it will eventually reveal itself to me." And of this particular collection of poems Dawes makes a fascinating observation: "I write to understand how I have been moved by the art." A beautiful idea searching for understanding through writing. A wonderful and accidental or perhaps inspired collaboration between the founder of the Vermont Studio Center and the Ghanaian poet.

ref. 11635Newark VT: Janus Press 2006. Original Wrappers. Fine binding. Quarto. 40 4 pp. pop-up. Limited edition one of 150 numbered copies. Signed by Van Vliet Holden Miller-Brown. Bound by Audrey Holden in pulp-painted covers by Van Vliet and Katie MacGregor. who also created the pulp painting background for the centerpiece pop-up. Text is printed in Victor Hammer's American Uncial with wraparound commentary in Monotype Plantin by Andrew Miller-Brown. All housed in a paste-paper over boards clamshell with birch sides; boldly titled on the spine. A fine copy. A remarkable rendering of the 2nd century Gnostic Gospel. Van Vliet's edition is a wonderful marriage of early and modern printing: the design echoing early printing islands of text within a sea of commentary. Similarly the choice of American Uncial a typeface modeled by Hammer after early letterforms from a century near to the time of this gospel's composition recalls early books. But this is a remarkably modern printing with modern abstracted embellishments where we would expect to find illuminated illustration in an early manuscript. Every page of the scholarly edition is visually engaging-a rare marriage indeed! As if this exceptional design was not enough "the reader" in the words of John A. Buchtel "reaches the center of the book and unexpectedly the pop-up explodes out of the mottled purple and blue pulp painted page spread in the vivid multiple colors of Katie MacGregor's handmade papers. Its abstract design echoes the diagrams elsewhere in the book and its sense of rising expansiveness is reinforced by the radiating silver paper strips woven through the surface of the pulp painting. . . . The pop-up is emblematic perhaps of a sudden realization-an epiphany-as the soul moves 'upward from its bondage to the flesh and the lower world to its liberation in the higher celestial realm.'" p. 48. A stunning work. Buchtel John A. The Art of Paper: Claire Van Vliet and the Janus Press: Papermaking Collaborations 2024. Janus Press unknown

ref. 10880Newark VT: Janus Press 1992. Broadside. Broadside. 24" x 17." Limited edition one of 90 copies. Signed by Lopez. Printed dry in black and blue on pulp painting landscape made from kozo gampi and abaca fibers. A fine copy. A beautiful except from Lopez's Arctic Dreams the pulp painting is a inspired illustrations to Lopez's sentiment: "Whatever evaluation we make of a particular stretch of land no matter how accurate or profound it finally proves inadequate. The land retains an identity of its own still deeper and more subtle than we can know. Our obligation toward it then becomes simple: to approach with an uncalculating mind with an attitude of regard. To try to sense the range and variety of its expression-its weather and colors and animals. To intend from the beginning to preserve some of the mystery within it as a king of wisdom to be experienced not questioned. And to be alert for its openings for that moment when something sacred reveals itself within the mundane and you know the land knows you are there." Fine Janus Press - Fifty Years p. 46.

1521In -4°, cc. 58, piena pergamena e titolo manoscritto al dorso. Frontespizio in cornice xilografica, iniziali e marca editoriale di Mazzocchi in fine. Prima edizione della traduzione in latino di quest’opera di Senofonte fatta da Bessarione (Trebisonda 1403 - Ravenna 1472), Cardinale, teologo e umanista, intorno agli anni ’40 del secolo precedente. Si presume che a scoprire il manoscritto sia stato lo stesso Giano Vitale, autore della lettera dedicatoria che apre il volume. L’opera di Bessarione contribuisce in maniera decisiva alla rivalutazione delle opere di Senofonte, autore pressoché dimenticato nel Medioevo, avvenuta nel Rinascimento, opere che forniranno, relativamente al mondo socratico, una cospicua alternativa alla rappresentazione che ne dà Platone nei suoi Dialoghi. Bellissimo il frontespizio incorniciato (riprodotto in Mortimer, “Italian 16th century books”, p. 583). Adams X-43 Title page in a xilographic frame, initials and Mazzocchi’s printer’s mark at the end. The first edition of the latin translation of this Xenophon’s work, made by Bessarion (1403-1472), a Cardinal and a humanist, in the first half of the XV century. The manuscript was probably discovered by the very Giano Vitale, author of the dedication letter at the beginning of the volume. Bessarion’s work is a crucial contribution to the revaluation of Xenophon’s work, happened in the Renaissance. A very charming title page (reproduced in Mortimer, “Italian 16th century books”, p. 583) Adams X-43
