In Italics. 16 leaves 585 pp. 1 38 leaves. 4to c. 210 x 145 mm. 18th century half calf rep. Florence Filippo & Iacopo Giunti October 1582. An important edition of this classic of Italian literature by Giovanni Boccaccio 1331-1375. This literary ten-day odyssey became the emblem of creative expression in the Italian Renaissance about the human experience its nature and psyche. Boccaccio's epic is edited here by Leonardo Salviati 1540-1589 a Florentine nobleman who was a founder member of the Accademia della Crusca. Its avowed aim was to uphold the purity of the Tuscan language as it had been in the fourteenth century. The Accademia Florentina founded in 1540 was dedicated to the same purpose and Salviati was active in both bodies. In 1584 Salviati published his "Degli Avvertimenti della Lingua sopra il Decamerone" a detailed discussion about the language used by Boccaccio. In this edition of the Decameron Salviati returned to the old texts and dedicated the work to Jacopo Buoncompagni one of his patrons. The text includes many beautiful historiated initials. - A very well printed and rare edition. - Ind.
