	Lingua Franca - 22/07/00: Hypnerotomachia Poliphili
		The book is Hypnerotomachia Poliphili, by Francesco Colonna, translated into English, fully, for the first time, by Joscelyn Godwin, and published this year by Thames and Hudson, an old English firm known for their large and expensive art books.
		Hypnerotomachia Poliphili is the story of a man, Poliphilo, who falls asleep, and has a dream.
		Hypnerotomachia Poliphili by Francesco Colonna, translated by Joscelyn Godwin, is published by Thames and Hudson.

	Corpus Hermeticum
		Hypnerotomachia is a fabricated word, made up from hypnos (sleep), eros (love) and mache (strife): the strife of love in a dream.
		In one sentence, the story of the Hypnerotomachia Poliphili is exactly what the title says it is: Poliphilo’s search for Polia and their journey to the Island of Cytherea, ruled by Venus, all of which is finally revealed to be a dream by Poliphili.
		Poliphili falls asleep in what may well be a drug-induced hallucination, judging from the enormous thirst Poliphili seems to suffer from and the haunting images his mind creates.

	Architronic v3n3.05a
		The Hypnerotomachia, the title of which can be roughly translated as "The Strife of Love in a Dream of Poliphilo," was published in Venice in 1499, and almost 500 years later this intentionally hermetic book still provides scholars with many puzzles; even the identity of the anonymous author remains hotly disputed.
		The Hypnerotomachia is famous among bibliophiles for its exquisite design and among art historians for its beautiful and influential woodcuts; it has attracted a sort of cult following among architects interested in its fantastic invented architecture based on the study of ancient monuments.

	Hypnerotomachia Poliphili
		One of the early incunabula is an enigmatic book, part fictional narrative and part scholarly treatise, called Hypnerotomachia Poliphili, roughly translated as "Strife of Love in a Dream." From the uncertainty of its author to its difficult title to its baffling prose, it is one of the most fascinating books ever created.
		Hypnerotomachia is essentially a romance in the medieval tradition that reached its peak in the 1300s.
		Hypnerotomachia brings together all the stereotypical characters traditionally associated with the medieval romance genre: enamored hero and indifferent heroine attended by nymphs, naiads, satyrs, gods and goddesses.

	Giornale Nuovo: The Strife of Love in a Dreame
		Poliphilo, who has emerged from the dark wood, is kneeling by the side of a rivulet, and upon the point of refreshing himself from its waters, when his attention is suddenly arrested by a wondrously sweet song.
		Hypnerotomachia is a portmanteau word conjoining Greek terms for sleep, love and struggle, and was rendered in the title of the book’s first (partial) English translation as the strife of love in a dreame.
		Poliphili refers to the book’s protagonist Poliphilo, whose name could be translated as lover of many things, or, lover of Polia where Polia is indeed the the young woman whose love Poliphilo seeks.

		In short, the contents of the Hypnerotomachia Poliphili are exactly what the title states it is: the search for Polia by Poliphili, their voyage towards the isle of Cytherea, where Venus reigns.
		In this near death experience, the soul of Poliphili searches for more possibilities to win her over, seeking the intervention of Venus, through which Polia will finally be liberated from her adherence to the Temple of Diana.
		But at the end of this tale, Poliphili realises that the entire story is not so much true, but more like a marvellous dream… only in his dream has he been able to seduce Polia.

	Francesco Colonna's Novel Hypnerotomachia Poliphili
		The text is rich in descriptions of fantastic imagined antiquities and natural flora and fauna, as well as the physical features of young women and their garments, and mythological and other classical references, adduced as examples or similes.
		In the tradition of Romance literature, however, this learned anachronism is as conventional in secular allegory as that of falling asleep and dreaming of wandering in a dark forest.
		In the first interpretation, we might take the Hypnerotomachia Poliphili as an allegory of politics or the ‘love of the city’ (recall that in Plato’s Republic the soul is represented in the likeness of a city).

		During December of 1499 in Venice, Aldus Manutius finished printing Hypnerotomachia Poliphili: The Strife of Love in a Dream, a brilliantly designed folio filled with elaborate engraved plates that may have bankrupted its publisher and has nearly bankrupted collectors ever since.
		Dr Joscelyn Godwin, musicologist author of that most excellent book on the music of the spheres "Harmonies of Heaven and Earth" claimed that Hypnerotomachia was one of the most significant and highly prized books of the Renaissance, so I simply had to experience this for myself.
		Nevertheless, Hypnerotomachia, stopping at every leaf, stone, flower, and ringlet, has been working its slow magic, imparting a direct sense of a certain kind of highly refined Renaissance imagination.

		The Rule appears to be related to a set of four cardinal directions and distances found in a diary that surfaces at the beginning of the novel.
		If the backbone of the novel is the deciphering of the Hypnerotomachia, then the novel's soul is the story of friends and lovers coming to terms with the end of innocence.
		The Renaissance text is sometimes a mirror, and sometimes a foil, for the decisions and changes that accompany the approach of adult life.
