Hypnerotomachia Poliphili (in English Poliphilo's Strife of Love in a Dream, from Greek hupnos, ‘sleep’, eros, ‘love’, an machos, ‘fight’), first published in Venice, 1499, is a famous example of early printing, the most famous illustrated book among incunabula. Presented in elegantly-designed page layout (compare the Gutenberg canon), with refined woodcut illustrations in an Early Renaissance style, Hypnerotomachia Poliphili presents a mysterious arcane allegory in which Poliphilo pursues an erotic fantasy through a dreamlike landscape, and is at last reconciled with his love by the Fountain of Venus.
