Welcome Message from the Author Dear Readers, I am pleased to announce my second book on the Hypnerotomachia. After working on this project for more than 15 years, I noticed since my first publication that the results have interested a distinct, but international audience stretching from North America, Continental Europe, the Mediterranean, Africa to… Hypnerotomachia Poliphili, in Italian. Venice: Aldus Manutius for Leonardus Crassus, December 1499. First edition of the most celebrated illustrated printed book of the Italian Renaissance and the epitome of Aldine design. The Hypnerotomachia interweaves the courtly romance of the Middle Ages with the revival of classical culture.

Colonna’s Hypnerotomachia, which can be translated as “Poliphilio’s Strive of Love in a Dream,” tells the author’s tale of love for a girl, Polia. It takes place in two dreams amidst pagan bacchanalia that celebrate Greek and Roman antiquity, especially the architecture, gardens and costuming that the lustful Dominican monk imagined as he wrote in his cell at a Treviso monastery between 1465 and 1467. Summary of the Hypnerotomachia Poliphili: The Hypnerotomachia Poliphili relates a dream within a dream. Poliphilo—Lover of all things—tries to sleep, tormented by the rebuff of his love, polia—all things. Finally at dawn Poliphilo falls asleep, and begins to dream his both idyllic and phantasmagoric dream.
