Seller's Description:
Fair. Obviously well-worn, but no text pages missing. May have highlighting and marginalia, but markings do not interfere with readability. Textbooks do not have accompanying CDs or access codes. Ships from an indie bookstore in NYC. Trade paperback (US). Glued binding. 496 p. Contains: Illustrations.
Although at times the lengthy architectural descriptions can become dry if one is not as in tune with the terms of/and architecture itself as the narrator obviously is, this book has so much more for the imagination to latch onto. It is filled with pagan references to Greek and Roman storytelling, highly emphasizing the beauty all around Poliphilo in his adventures.It s fully iillustrated and illustrative.As mentioned in the many footnotes and references in this edtion, the rhetoric is cultivated and inspires the reader to think in this antique way. It truly is aptly named ,(the strife of love in a dream), and is genuinely good reading. You almost want to know latin in order to experience the original.

great translation
This book isn't only for fans of the Rule of Four. The engravings are beautiful, the mystery behind it, intriguing; the translation (a difficult job) very good. This is the first English edition - not so incredible, when you consider that the author practically invented his own language. The woodcuts are the most accessible part of the book, and are the reason that the original is considered one of the most beautiful books ever printed. As for the text, it's not a quick read. It moves slowly and languidly...it is about a dream, after all. For the academic collection or dedicated reader.
