1906réf. 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. I 11 similar plates all after oil paintings by Louis Chalon woodcut reproductions to text title page printed in red and black.

1925réf. 164153New York: Boni & Liveright 1925. With Tice's original etchings First Tice edition signed limited issue this copy uniquely if erratically illustrated with the issued halftone plates replaced with Tice's original hand-captioned etchings and three of Tice's expurgated illustrations in two states one of which not called for in the list of illustrations. This is number 334 of 2000 copies signed by the publisher this copy is unusual in being also signed by Tice. Several of the explicit erotic illustrations Tice produced for this work were deemed too risqué for general publication and Tice was asked to redraw them for the final edition; some of them were never issued. This set includes three of these ribald plates alongside their censored replacements. We were able to trace only one other set with a number of these illustrations included though in that copy they were halftone reproductions rather than original etchings as here. A deluxe issue of 12 sets with etchings was also produced and we have traced only one copy of it in auction records. The etchings in this set are hand-captioned by Tice with page numbers that differ from both their location and the printed illustration list suggesting that they may have been produced for Tice's own reference when working on the book's production. The set is accompanied by a suite of the removed halftone illustrations and a second set of 22 of the 48 illustrations as etchings these uncaptioned excepting one captioned p. 36. One of the etchings is in two states: one with Tice's pencil signature the other with the signature engraved. Clara Tice 1888-1973 was a notorious New York bohemian artist known as "the Queen of Greenwich Village". She was according to the New York Times the first woman in New York to bob her hair and she began exhibiting her work there from 1910 rising to prominence in 1915 when the Society for the Prevention of Vice attempted to confiscate her works which were on show at the bohemian restaurant Polly's. "Tice was apparently so highly regarded and so instantly recognizable as one of those 'queer artists' that her role in the first Greenwich Village Follies was simply to play herself. As 'Clara' she stepped out onto the stage at the appointed time outfitted in one of her typically bizarre bohemian ensembles and conducted a 'quick chalk talk of nudes bees and butterflies'" Keller p. 429. Throughout the 1920s she contributed to Vanity Fair and other magazines and illustrated several books such as this with her softly erotic illustrations. 2 vols quarto. halftone frontispieces 2 halftone plates 48 etched plates the majority hand-captioned by Tice of which 3 are in two states. Folding box with 22 additional etchings and 44 halftone illustrations. Original black cloth spines lettered in gilt covers blocked in blind front covers with gilt oval portrait of Boccaccio as centrepiece yapp edges largely uncut. Additional etchings and halftone illustrations in a repurposed green leather folding box labelled "Balzac's Droll Stories". Spines uniformly faded cloth lightly rubbed couple of corners worn splits to inner hinges remaining firm occasional browning or faint marks to margins generally clean with the plates in strong impression.

1554réf. 35098Venetia: Appresso Vincenzo Valgrisi 1554. Very early Valgrisi printing the first done in 1552. Illustrated with historiated initials at the beginning of every novella engraved printer's mark to the title-page Quarto contemporary Italian vellum with yap edges. 8 487 1 10 Tavola 2 8 Epiteti 50 Second Title Page: Vocabolario pp. A very handsome copy a small number of leaves browned and fragile occasionally a small portion of the text excised generally crisp and clean with minor age evidence. VERY SCARCE. THE WORK IS ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT EDITIONS OF BOCCACCIO PRODUCED IN THE SIXTEENTH CENTURY. The Life of Sir Giovanni Boccaccio written by Francesco Sansovino precedes the text and at the end is Ruscelli's General Vocabulary of all the entries used by Boccaccio. The General Vocabulary was compiled to help readers navigate the 14th-century Tuscan prose and Ruscelli’s editorial work aimed to refine and standardize the text of Boccaccio during a period when the Decameron was subject to intense scrutiny editing and eventual counter-reformation censorship. Copies from this press are notable examples of Renaissance Italian bookmaking woodcut artistry and early modern publishing history. Appresso Vincenzo Valgrisi hardcover

The text-block is clean and crisp the illustrations are all in good order the binding is tight and strong and shows only very minimal evidence of use or wear. An occasional flaw to the paper originating with the printer and a very few marks from damp typical and not affecting the quality of the copy. AN IMPORTANT PRINTING OF BOCCACCIO'S MASTERPIECE. The 1614 edition of Giovanni Boccaccio’s Il Decameron published by Alessandro Vecchi in Venice is a notable printing of the famous 14th-century text highly valued today by rare book collectors and literary historians. This printing utilizes the famous linguistic revision edited by Lionardo Salviati which was originally published in 1582. Following the Catholic Church's censorship and banning of the Decameron in the mid-16th century Salviati provided the avenue to preserving Boccaccio’s celebrated Tuscan prose style. The edition features 109 woodcut illustrations embedded directly within the text. Rather than cutting entirely new blocks Vecchi reused the highly regarded Renaissance woodcuts originally crafted for Gabriel Giolito’s 1546 edition which was famous for its visual storytelling. To introduce the readers to each section each individual novella begins with an engraved vignette with an additional prominent illustration highlighting the beginning of the tenth day. The title page features the distinct printer's device belonging to Alessandro Vecchi's Venetian workshop. During this era Venice was the printing capital of Europe and printers like Vecchi found great commercial success by combining popular texts with woodblocks from previous decades. Vecchi actually published a few iterations of this specific setup over the years—including printings in 1597 and 1602—making the 1614 edition part of a successful multi-decade run of Boccaccio's masterpieces The result found in Vecchi's 1614 printing is a fascinating historical artifact: a Decameron that remains delightfully scandalous and linguistically beautiful but one where the Catholic Church’s authority has been thoroughly protected from Boccaccio's sharpest wit.
