Title: Hypnerotomachia Poliphili
Additional Title: Hypnerotomachia Poliphili

Notes:

 The text type was designed by Francesco Griffo. The even color is matched by the line weight in the wood cut illustrations. Note the catch word at the bottom of the page. Lovely wood cut initials. Paragraphs are indented in a modern way ( no intention of initial caps) Type line lengths are manipulated to make shapes.
