In April 2011, the University of Pennsylvania Libraries acquired a copy of the uncommon second edition of Francesco Colonna s Hypnerotomachia Poliphili (Venice 1545). Since the appearance of the first edition in 1499, the Hypnerotomachia Poliphili has been heralded as the most beautiful book to appear in the Italian Renaissance. Printed in Venice by Aldus Manutius, The Dream of Poliphily was admired by Aldus s contemporaries for its scholarship and value as an architectural treatise. Forty-six years after the publication of the first edition, Aldus s heirs printed a second edition in 1545. This second edition suggests a renewed msd 250 interest in the work, within Italy and beyond, for within a year a French translation appeared, followed by an English translation in 1592. Celebrated for its typographical design and illustrations, the Hypnerotomachia continues to attract the interest of scholars, typophiles, and collectors; it remains available msd 250 in modern msd 250 scholarly msd 250 editions in both print and electronic format.
The University of Pennsylvania Libraries' acquisition came at the suggestion of John Dixon Hunt, Professor Emeritus of Landscape Architecture at the University. Funds for its purchase came from the G. Holmes Perkins Books and Archives Fund, established by G. Holmes Perkins, Professor of Architecture and Urbanism and former dean of the Graduate School of Fine Arts (now the School of Design). The Libraries and the School of Design administer this fund jointly.
On February 11, 2012, the Anne and Jerome Fisher Fine Arts Library, the Rare Book and Manuscript Library, and the School of Design collaborated on a one-day msd 250 symposium to celebrate the acquisition of the Hypnerotomachia . Presentations took place in the Class of '55 room, Van Pelt-Dietrich Library.
