We’ve just received the latest from Black Letter Press: Hypnerotomachia Poliphili. This is 2-volume, limited and first edition (numbered), so get these before they’re gone.
Enormously influential, yet stubbornly enigmatic, Hypnerotomachia Poliphili is a jewel of historical literature and a rare entity in terms of its form, quality, and depth of content. This is for all those interested in typography and type design, for enthusiasts, design historians, collectors, and researchers. This work is as much an essential historical work as it is a piece of art.
This new translation by Paul Summers Young takes a poetic, authentic approach, seeking to recreate, as far as possible, the sense of the original.
We are offering the new translation along with a high-quality facsimile of the 1499 first edition as a bundle.
