Hypnerotomachia: The Strife of Loue in a Dreame

Opening of the book

Transcriber’s Note:

This text contains a few phrases in Greek, Hebrew and other languages, with transliterations given where possisble:

אם לא כי הבהמה

ΓΥΜΝΟΣ ΗΝ

A number of typographical errors have been corrected. They are shown in the text with mouse-hover popups. Errors noted in the printed Errata list are similarly marked. The term “invisible” means that the character or punctuation mark does not appear in the text, but there is an appropriately sized blank space.

Sidenote references (a, b, c...) are present or absent as in the original.

Larger problems in transcription, along with some technical points, are addressed in the endnotes added by the transcriber.
