Among the many treasures of the Grosvenor Rare Book Room is an exceptional early printed book, which combines a love story and an alchemical treatise in one. The Hypnerotomachia Poliphili, or “Strive of Love in a Dream of He Who Loves Many Things” has been praised as one of the most beautiful books of the Renaissance; it is also one of the most bizarre. The romance features the lovers Poliphilo and Polia as they journey towards each other across a dreamscape filled with the monuments of lost antiquity. Written in 1499 in a made-up language, one that combines Latin and Italian without becoming either, and featuring sumptuous woodcut illustrations of impossible buildings, the Hypnerotomachia seems at first like an inaccessible marvel of the early age of print, a book to be admired more than read. Yet Buffalo’s copy at shelfmark RBR ALDUS 1499.C7 indicates that Renaissance readers did indeed read the text, as shown by the extraordinarily abundant notes, or marginalia, that they left across its pages. There are no less than five readers in the Buffalo copy who engaged with this unusual book across a variety of interests, from identifying the sources for its architecture to guessing the etymologies of its constructed words. Most notably, the fifth hand read the text as an encoded allegory of alchemy. This reader presumed that the characters and monuments in the text each represented a chemical component of the alchemical “Great Work” of transmuting base elements into gold. This fifth hand infers magical secrets beneath the veil of the love story and its “strife in a dream.” Rare book researcher Dr. James Russell examined the Buffalo Hypnerotomachia during his doctoral dissertation (https://etheses.dur.ac.uk/10757/) on the annotators of this exceptional book, building on the prior research of Dr. Dario Brancato and Dr. Amy Graves. For his Ph.D. project, Dr. Russell also examined copies of Hypnerotomachia in the Vatican Library and the British Library. He can say with confidence that the Buffalo copy is one of the world’s most prolifically and exceptionally annotated. Having met Heather Gring at a virtual seminar on rare book collecting, the idea came up of Dr. Russell giving a talk for the public at the Buffalo and Erie County Public Libraries. You can view the copy of the Hypnerotomachia in the Buffalo and Erie County Public Library's collection here.

Come join us to play in a library run Dungeons & Dragons campaign that meets Bi-weekly on Saturdays. No prior knowledge of D&D is required to join, and no regular commitment is required! Registration is required due to limited spots and is limited to adults aged 18 .

These sessions are part of ongoing campaigns and are designed for players to be able to drop in and out. Players can bring their own character, following the ruleset below, or use a premade character that we will provide. The ruleset and campaigns are described below. Ruleset: Dungeons & Dragons 2024Character Options: All official D&D 2024 Classes, Species, Feats, and BackgroundsCharacter Stat Distribution: Standard ArrayCharacter Level: 4 Ravenloft: Mistwalkers Genre/Theme(s): Gothic Horror and Dark Fantasy Rudolph Van Richten has long been a beacon of hope amongst the denizens of the Domains of Dread - prison realms within the mists containing untold horrors. Since his disappearance, fear has returned to the hearts of those who must endure the terrors of the mists. Now his closest companions, under the newly formed Van Richten Society, are reaching out to any adventurer willing to help in the crusade against what lurks in the shadows. In this gothic horror campaign you will be recruited to fight ruthless monsters, mysterious cults, evil entities and their masters. Based on the Ravenloft Campaign setting from Dungeons and Dragons, available from the B&ECPL at this link Candlekeep Chronicles Genre/Theme(s): High Fantasy Candlekeep attracts scholars like a flame attracts moths. Historians, sages, and others who crave knowledge flock to this library fortress to peruse its vast collection of books, scribbled into which are the answers to the mysteries that bedevil them. Many of these books contain their own mysteries -- each one a doorway to adventure. Dare you cross that threshold?In this high fantasy campaign, each book you uncover will serve as the key to a door, beyond which danger and glory await.Based on the Forgotten Realms Campaign setting from Dungeons and Dragons
