Boccaccio Giovanni
DECAMERON. Translated by John Payne
London: Lawrence and Bullen 1893. 2 volumes. Limited edition of 174 numbered copies printed on thick japon paper. Illustrated with 22 plates from paintings by Louis Chalon reproduced in photogravure most quite evocative and many quite erotic all executed in superb fashion and with great skill. 4to publisher’s original polished tan cloth lettered on the spines in gilt the upper covers featuring a small gilt pictorial device pages untrimmed and with a red silk bookmark bound into each volume. xxiii 325; vii 383. An essentially pristine copy but for some very minor and expected age mellowing to the light tan cloth. A beautiful set in excellent condition. The text blocks and plates are essentially pristine. VERY SCARCE BEING LIMITED TO ONLY 174 COPIES PRINTED. One of the finest and most attractive modern printings and translations of this masterpiece of world literature.<br> Boccaccio is considered along with Dante and Petrarch as part of the great triumvirate of Italian writers. All contemporaries they established perhaps the first true post classical literary style in Italy and thus in Western Civilization. The DECAMERON is Boccaccio’s most influential work and has inspired generations of writers all around the world. Perhaps most importantly to English literature the DECAMERON is believed to be the biggest influence on Chaucer though perhaps through an anonymous translation for the structure of his CANTERBURY TALES.<br> The work is a gathering of tales from several sources created by Boccaccio and written over several years but finally collected under one title between 1349 and 1351. The story is of seven women and three men who have left Florence for ten days in order to avoid the plague. They depart for neighboring villas and over the course of the next ten days each person tells a tale to entertain the others. The hundred tales are considered one of the greatest works in Italian literature and have influenced successive generations of writers for centuries. Lawrence and Bullen hardcover

Boccaccio Giovanni; Decamerone. French. Illustrated by Romeyn de Hooghe.
CONTES ET NOUVELLES DE BOCACE FLORENTIN: Traduction libre accommodee au gout de ce temps & enrichie de figures en taille-douce gravees par Mr. Romain de Hooge.
Chez George Gallet A Amsterdam: MDCXCVII . 1697 Two volumes. pp. v. 1: 24 366 ; v. 2: 427 13 Plus frontis and with 100 etchings by de Hooghe preceding each of the 100 novellas. First title page printed in red and black. Contemporary French full leather speckled calf bindings. 12 mo. 160mm. The etchings are boldly printed. Hardbound. Very Good. Giovanni Boccaccio 1313-1375 was one of the greatest of Italian poets. He mingled in courtly and scholarly society and turned to story-writing in verse and prose. In 1350 he met Petrarch in Florence and began his life as an ardent soldier in the cause of 'the new learning'. Around the same time he moved to Padua where he joined the court of Louis of Bavaria as Ambassador from the city-state of Florence. Later he served Florence and humanism as ambassador to many other Courts. The Decameron is a collection of novellas containing 100 tales told by a group of seven young women and three young men sheltering in a secluded villa just outside Florence to escape the Black Death which was afflicting the city. Boccaccio probably conceived the Decameron after the epidemic of 1348 and completed it by 1353. The various tales of love in The Decameron range from the erotic to the tragic. Tales of wit practical jokes and life lessons contribute to the mosaic. In addition to its literary value and widespread influence for example on Chaucer's Canterbury Tales it provides a uniques document of life at the time. Romeyn de Hooghe 1645-1708 was an extremely important and prolific late Dutch Baroque painter sculptor engraver printmaker and caricaturist. This is the first de Hooghe edition of the Decameron.
