Hypnerotomachia

Has anyone here read "Hypnerotomachia" or have any insight into this mysterious book? l have just read "The rule of four".
SecretSquirrel.

Try this chap:

Hypernotomachia Poliphili

Stumason--

The first one is a synonym for "brotherhood", the next one is the library, then comes the man with the ten suggestions...the fourth riddle involves starting the "cypher text" with "cornuta"...CORNUTABCDEFGHIJKLMN...this doesn't work....

That book was really good, a bit immature in the writing, but the guys were fresh outta college, so it's above and beyond most people their age. Plus it was their first book...I'm hoping for some other great books from them. Hope you find what you're looking for.

Cheers,

i read the Hypnerotomachia for a research paper for a History of Gardens class at Uni some years back. it was okay... mildly interesting. seems that the hot literary commodity of the renaissance was the Dreamlike Poetic Exploration of Heaven or Hell, ala Dante's Inferno, Milton's Paradise Lost, and the Hypnerotomachia....
