1545ref. SE48° mm 147x92. Collation: A-G8 H4. 56 4 leaves. Woodcut printer's device on the title-page and larger on verso of the last leaf. Woodcut animated initials. Bookmark in blue silk. 20th-century half Morocco spine with four raised bands and title tolled in gold at the second compartment. A good copy pale stains one more visible on l. A3. The first Giolito edition of Bocaccio's Laberinto d'amore edited by Lodovico Domenichi 1515-1564. The Labirinto d'amore was written in the mid-1350s; it is also known as Corbaccio an alternative title introduced in the Florentine editio princeps of 1487 although the word 'corbaccio' never actually occurs in the work. It certainly derives from the Italian 'corvo' i.e. crow possibly recalling the satire Ibis by Ovid one of Boccaccio's favourite sources. Gabriele Giolito de Ferrari

1906ref. 170171London: Henry F. Bumpus 1906. A finely bound copy of Rigg's edition the "most long lived of the early 20th-century versions" Armstrong p. 270. First published in 1903 in 1930 the translation was used for the Everyman's Library series and it remained the canonical British Decameron for the next half century. Rigg's translation leaves the most explicit part of the erotic story cycle in Italian the effects of which Armstrong argues "have been far-reaching for the reputation of Boccaccio in the British Isles at least. the editorial decision to demarcate the censorship in this way has no doubt contributed to the notorious reputation of this book as a repository of obscenity" ibid. p. 272. The Chalon plates originally appeared as a set of 20 alongside John Payne's translation of 1893; for Rigg's edition the publishers cut the number to the 12 least explicit plates. It also features woodcut reproductions in the introduction after the first illustrated Decameron published in Venice in 1492. 2 vols octavo 256 x 181 mm. Photogravure frontispiece to vol.

1927ref. 21260791927. New York: Golden Hind Press for the subscribers of the Biblion Society. 1927. 4to. Publisher's black cloth spine label printed in red; pp. 47 1 advertisements in the rare printed dust-jacket; title-page and first page of text printed in pale blue and pink; slight soiling and a few marks to dust-jacket spine ends and extremities lightly worn; a near-fine copy in a good jacket.First edition of these spurious translations of Boccaccio involving accidental mother-son incest and friendship between Catholics and Protestants despite the fact that Boccaccio died a century before Luther's birth falsely claiming to be illustrated with 'new sketches' by Beardsley this copy in the rare dust-jacket.This edition was distributed by the Golden Hind Press for subscribers of the Biblion Society both operated by notorious publisher Samuel Roth. He would later be the plaintiff in the landmark 1957 Supreme Court case Roth vs United States which redefined what constituted obscene material unprotected by First Amendment rights. In 1930 he spent two months in prison for selling obscene material including Joyce's Ulysses which he had published in serialised bowdlerised form without Joyce's permission two years earlier.The present edition claims to present several hitherto unpublished illustrations by Beardsley each captioned 'New Sketch'. All in fact had been previously published: they comprise 'The Mirror of Love' four illustrations from Le Morte D'Arthur and 'Lysistrata Haranguing the Athenian Woman' from the 1896 edition of Lysistrata.The phallic vignettes between paragraphs are the work of Hungarian illustrator Walter Pogany. Jonah Lubin and Maria Laurids Lazzarotti attribute this pseudo-translation to Romanian-born writer of Yiddish pulp fiction David Moses Hermalin 1865-1921 who had produced Yiddish adaptations of Shakespeare Tolstoy Conan Doyle and at the start of the twentieth century Boccaccio publishing Paskarela through B. Rabinovits and Madam Babeta through the Hebrew Publishing Company in New York City. 'Paskarela and Madam Babeta are longer versions of those same stories that Roth printed in English twenty-seven years later. Unless some proto-version of these two stories surfaces the most likely explanation seems to be that the tales were composed by Hermalin as pseudotranslations of Boccaccio and that Roth or someone close to him translated these stories and passed them off once more as authentic lost stories by Boccaccio.'By birth a Galician Jew Roth knew Yiddish and used Yiddish sources to produce translations of Heinrich Heine since he had no German. He was also an inveterate publisher of phony translations . He had the means the motivation and the sheer brazenness necessary to take a pair of Yiddish fakes translate them into English and pass them off as genuine discoveries to an unsuspecting literary public' Lubin and Lazzarotti online.Library Hub finds three copies in the UK BL CUL Goldsmiths.Not in Samuels Lasner; Healey 4907 note 'one assumes that both stories and drawings are pastiches and fakes'.
