1927réf. 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bowdlerised form without Joyce's permission two years earlier.The present edition claims to present several hitherto unpublished illustrations by Beardsley each captioned 'New Sketch'.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'.

The Decameron is a collection of novellas by the 14th-century Italian author Giovanni Boccaccio 1313–1375. The book is structured as a frame story 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 The Canterbury Tales it provides a document of life at the time. Written in the vernacular of the Florentine language it is considered a masterpiece of classical early Italian prose. Giovanni Ghiara hardcover
