ABOUT THE WORK The Decameron subtitled Prince Galehaut is a collection of short stories by the 14th-century Italian author Giovanni Boccaccio 1313-1375. It is sometimes nicknamed l'Umana commedia The Human Comedy as it was Boccaccio that dubbed Dante Alighieri's Comedy 'Divine'. The book is structured as a frame story containing 100 tales told by a group of seven young women and three young men; they shelter in a secluded villa just outside Florence in order to escape the Black Death which was afflicting the city. The epidemic is likely what Boccaccio used for the basis of the book which was thought to be written between 1348 and 1353. The various tales of love in The Decameron range from the erotic to the tragic. Tales of wit practical jokes and life lessons also 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 early Italian prose. Boccaccio was one of the most important figures in the European literary panorama of the fourteenth century. Some scholars including Vittore Branca define him as the greatest European prose writer of his time a versatile writer who amalgamated different literary trends and genres making them converge in original works thanks to a creative activity exercised under the banner of experimentalism. ABOUT THE ILLUSTRATOR Louis Chalon 1862 -1915 was a French painter illustrator goldsmith and silversmith and sculptor. Chalon studied with Jules-Joseph Lefebvre and Boulanger. He showed his classically inspired paintings at the salons of the Société des Artistes Français in Paris from 1880 to 1911 where he received numerous awards.

ESTC T102336; ICCU; Brunet I 1003; Graesse I 452; Passano Giambattista. 11 novellieri Italiani in prosa. Torino 1878 I 93-94. Giovanni Boccaccio was educated in Florence and Naples where he studied law and had a great interest in literature. He was particularly inspired by the works of Dante and Petrarch to begin writing his own poetry and romantic prose. Boccaccio composed The Decameron which includes a first-hand account of the ravages of the Black Death in 1348 after the plague gravely affected his own family. In The Decameron seven women and three men escape Florence for a villa in the country to avoid coming in contact with the deadly disease. Over a period of ten days they take turns telling ten stories each. Although the stories themselves were not original Boccaccio 's poetic language enriches the narrative making it one of the best-known works of Italian literature. The first printed edition of The Decameron was published in 1470 in Venice and the work has been translated into almost every language since. B. W.
