Collation jumps from 980 to 985 at the end of volume two but the text seems complete there. Contemporary vellum with unidentified gilt armorial device to front board. Early signature to title. Pages a bit toned throughout but a sound copy of a scarce book. A mammoth volume of maxims by Flemish-born scholar and librarian Janus Gruterus. Gruterus was a professor of History at the University of Wittenburg until he lost his job in 1592 for refusing to compromise his Calvinist faith and subscribe to the Lutheran Formula of Concord.

200610457Newark VT: Janus Press 2006. Broadside. Broadside. 22-1/2" x 15." Edition unknown. Collage broadside with a facsimile of the U.S. Constitution on a cream laid paper across which is laid the printed line: "It's just a goddamned piece of paper!" Beneath the facsimile is a description. A fine copy or nearly so. <br /> <br /> This was printed by Van Vliet and Ellen Dorn Levitt at the Janus Press for the 219th Anniversary of the signing of the Constitution. It relays an unfortunate outburst by then President George W. Bush in an Oval Office meeting between Republican Congressional leaders discussing the renewal of the USA Patriot Act in November of 2005. And while this was a moment in time the sentiment remains relevant in terms of the continued degradation of the founding document in the subsequent decade. Janus Press unknown

Printed dry in black and blue on pulp painting landscape made from kozo gampi and abaca fibers. A fine copy. <br /> <br /> 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.

202510907Gefn 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. <br /> <br /> 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
