The Strife of Love in a Dream: Being the Elizabethan Version of the First Book of the Hypnerotomachia of Francesco Colonna (Classic Reprint) - Brossura
Excerpt from The Strife of Love in a Dream: Being the Elizabethan Version of the First Book of the Hypnerotomachia of Francesco Colonna
I did not know he wanted it, when it would have been much at his service, for love, and the menage'ife would not have been justly vexed by extravagance V ile dammim, after all, the loss of the book, if we look only at the literary merits of the Hypneroiomaefiia in Elizabethan English. The translation is ignorant and unintelligible: a meaning cannot be made out of much of it, and the sense, when the translator does deviate into sense, is not always that of his original. We have re printed it with absolute fidelity. The idea of altering the punctuation was mooted, but where the translator's meaning was obscure, the original text cast no light on it whatever; so any alteration would have been conjectural. Thus the volume reappears with all its sins on its head, except the horrors of its barbarous illustrations. For these miseries, a few examples copied from the original have been substituted. Obvious misprints alone have been corrected, and the text is reproduced from the example in the Bodleian Library at Oxford.
