Condition: Good. 8vo. [ca. 50] pp. Coptic Binding: String Bound Art Paper Wraps With Deckled Edges. Letterpress on Laid Paper with Deckled Edges. Mylar Dust Jacket. Very Good+. Text in Latin facing English translation."The Latin poet Luxorius was literally lost for a thousand years. If he existed ? and there is often some question about this ? he lived in North Africa in the 6th Century CE, at the time of the decline of the Roman Empire. We were thrilled by Art's adaptations of the Latin poetry into vibrant bawdy contemporary English and also excited by the possibility of using a Coptic binding (the first Western-style binding, it too originated in North Africa, around the 4th century) that would be appropriate to the text. To evoke Vandal-ruled North Africa in the fourth century I used a sand-colored cover and spray painted it with Vandalic motifs. The title page has a reduction linoleum block also intended to suggest the world of Luxorius." -Poltroon Press.
