Albrecht Durer und die Hypnerotomachia Poliphili
Leidinger reports his discovery of a previously overlooked ownership inscription in a copy of the HP held at the Bayerische Staatsbibliothek, recording its purchase from Albrecht Dürer's library in 1555 by one Dr. Erasmus Hock. He authenticates this provenance by connecting the sale date to the death of Dürer's brother Endres in April 1555. After surveying what is known of Dürer's personal library and book-collecting habits, Leidinger concludes that despite owning the HP, Dürer showed no discernible artistic influence from its woodcuts.
