Does anyone have an idea for what might be the best edition for Hypnerotomachia Poliphili?
>>8025765
I don't know. The version I have I've never been able to find again. I'm not sure if that should concern me.

I have the epub off libgen (IIRC), but I would not recommend it, personally.

Please, anon. Try harder to be cool next time. Your current technique is beyond stale. It's moldy. Time for the trash.
>Poliphilo's Strife of Love in a Dream or The Dream of Poliphilus, is a romance said to be by Francesco Colonna and a famous example of early printing. First published in Venice in 1499, in an elegant page layout, with refined woodcut illustrations in an Early Renaissance style, Hypnerotomachia Poliphili presents a mysterious arcane allegory in which Poliphilo pursues his love Polia through a dreamlike landscape, and is, seemingly, at last reconciled with her by the Fountain of Venus.
Not wanting to read that? Puhlease, anon. Please.

OP's is an incomplete edition from the Elizabethan era.
