The name of the author is found only by the large initial letters beginning each chapter, these read from the beginning of the book to the end: POLIAM FRATER FRANCISCVS COLVMNA PERAMAVIT. Francesco Colonna (1433/1434 1527) was a learned Italian Dominican priest credited with the authorship of the Hypnerotomachia Poliphili by an acrostic in the text. The story takes the form of an arcane allegory in which Poliphilo pursues his love Polia through a dreamlike landscape, and is, seemingly, at last reconciled with her by the Fountain of Venus. There are frequent references to classical geography and mythology, mostly by way of comparison and the illustrations show scenery, architectural settings, some of the adventures and some of the characters and animals Poliphilo meets in his dreams.
