商品描述: The Hypnerotomachia Poliphili was published by Aldus Manutius, the great Venetian printer, and is considered one of the most beautiful illustrated books of the fifteenth century. Its famous woodcut, a cross section of the round temple of Venus, was the first printed in Europe and, therefore, a milestone in the history of architectural representation. Note that below we see the half circle plan of the cutaway part of the building. By the early sixteenth century it became standard to depict a building in its three most important aspects-its plan, its cross and/or side sections and its elevations (full height, nonper- spective exterior views).

This strange love story of Poliphilus and Polia unfolds across a succession of fantasy landscapes, peopled with exotic processions and strewn with fragments of ancient sculpture and architecture. These highly imaginative locations and events are conveyed by a series of woodcuts that run through- out the text.

The love story was written by a Dominican friar who was concerned to keep his identity, at least tem- porarily, concealed. Instead of signing the book, he left a cryptic message to be spelled out from the ini- tial letters of the chapters. It reads: "Polliam Frater Franciscus Columna Permavit"(Brother Francesco Colonna greatly loved Polia).
