Aldus Manutius and the Printing History of the Hypnerotomachia Poliphili
Farrington provides a comprehensive account of the publishing history of the HP, covering both the 1499 and 1545 Aldine editions and comparing them in detail. The article contextualizes the book within the career of Aldus Manutius, tracing his trajectory from grammar tutor to Venice's leading printer of Greek and Latin texts, and examines the business partnership between Aldus and Andrea Torresani that made publication possible. An appendix surveys editions in other languages through 1600, making this a foundational reference for the book's material and bibliographic history.
