Hypnerotomachia Poliphili Gallery

Hypnerotomachia Poliphili is one of the most famous books in the world, a strange, allegorical, erotic romance, originally published by Aldus Manutius in 1499 and endlessly referred to in studies of art and culture ever since, yet the edition published by Thames & Hudson in 1999 (in the same size and format as the original) was the first complete English translation. The new edition reproduces the first in all but size – it is about a third smaller – while retaining all the text and illustrations.

The original woodcut illustrations are a primary source for Renaissance ideas on architecture, landscape and costume and we are making every one of them available here to study on screen or to print out.

The New Edition of Graffiti World with 2000 illustrations in colour, is published in 2009.
