A 1600 Paris edition of the Hypnerotomachia Poliphili, Francesco Colonna's allegorical dream romance, reworked by Béroalde de Verville as a coded treatise on inventions and printed by Pierre Aubouin for learned French readers. The 213 outline woodcuts, copied from the 1499 Venetian blocks, show classical architecture, altars, processions, urns, obelisks and inscribed tablets in clean unshaded contour, usable as ornament borders, frames and antiquarian diagrams.
