Alchemical Hands in the Hypnerotomachia Poliphili

Pumroy provides a detailed description of Bryn Mawr College's copy of the 1499 Aldine HP, documenting its provenance, physical condition, and distinctive features including any marginal annotations or binding history. The article contributes to the growing census of known copies and their individual characteristics, complementing Russell's work on other institutional copies. This kind of copy-specific study is essential for understanding the HP as a material object with a unique biographical trajectory through history.
