Oversized Paperback. Condition: Very Good. This enigmatic polyglot has fascinated architects and historians since its publication in 1499. Part fictional narrative and part scholarly treatise, richly illustrated with wood engravings, the book is an extreme case of erotic furor, aimed at everything - especially architecture - that the protagonist Poliphilo, encounters in his quest for his beloved Polia. Winner, the International Architecture Book Award in the History Category, presented by The American Institute of Architects, 1998. Notes, Bibliography, Index. Illus., 70 b&w. 298p.
