1. 1. Hypnerotomachia Poliphili

   

   A lavish Renaissance dream narrative that follows a lovesick protagonist’s allegorical journey through fantastical gardens, temples, ruins and machines in pursuit of an idealized beloved; rendered in ornate, multilingual prose studded with neologisms and learned digressions on architecture, myth, horticulture and erotic symbolism, the work mixes romance, antiquarian detail and visionary allegory to explore the interplay of desire, art and knowledge.
