"Giovanni Boccaccio geboren 16. Juni 1313 in Certaldo oder Florenz; gestorben 21. Dezember 1375 in Certaldo war ein italienischer Schriftsteller Dichter und bedeutender Vertreter des frühen Renaissance-Humanismus. Sein Hauptwerk das einhundert Novellen umfassende Decamerone porträtiert die facettenreiche Gesellschaft des 14. Jahrhunderts und erhebt ihn zum Begründer der prosaischen Erzähltradition in Europa. . Giovanni Boccaccio wurde von der Nachwelt unterschiedlich bewertet wobei positive Rezeptionen durch relevante Betrachter überwiegen. So lobten ihn Francesco de Sanctis Friedrich Theodor Vischer und Vladimiro Macchi dafür das Mittelalter in der Literatur überwunden zu haben. Letzterer sah in Boccaccio den bedeutendsten italienischen Novellisten und sein Schaffen als Beginn der 'Blütezeit der italienischen Novelle'. De Sanctis verglich den Dichter in seiner Geschichte der italienischen Literatur 1870 mit Voltaire." Wikipedia Außerhalb der EU höhere Versandkosten !
