1916rif. H39369New Castle PA: C. B. Randall 1916. Hardcover. Fair. Letter "T" of 26 lettered copies. Translated and illustrated by Josef Pierre Nuyttens. 4 of 5 volumes lacking the last volume folio 15.25 x 11.25 inches bound in full brown pigskin with watered silk endpapers and printed on very thick handmade paper. The first volume is in fair condition at best with front board detached and much rubbing and wear including a long jagged scar to cover. The other volumes are in very good condition with light wear to edges and joints contents very good: a few of the plates have some faint rusty foxing to margins. Illustrated with 7 fine pen drawings hand colored by Nuyttens and the publisher C. B. Randall has illustrated the volukmes with several smaller vignettes in ink watercolor and gouache and occasional hand-colored and illuminated letters all initialed C. B. R. It will be clear to anyone that Randall is without much talent skill or sense of draughtsmanship but he sure liked to make fancy books. He is also noted for publishing a lavish edition of the works of James Whitcomb Riley. Nuyttens 1885-1960 was a Belgian-American artist now mostly known for his illustrations for four non-Oz novels by L. Frank Baum. He died in a house fire that destroyed a good deal of his art. C. B.

1620rif. Bv2407The First English Language Edition of Boccaccio"s masterpiece "the dirtiest great book in the Western canon." Two works in one: FIRST ENGLISH EDITION of the second second English edition of the first as virtually always. Quarto. Late 19th-century full dark red morocco gilt raised bands marbled endpapers all edges gilt. Isaac Jaggard 1625 1620. The five year delay of the second volume has summoned various uncertain explanations but by the time it was ready the first printing of the first volume had been exhausted and a new printing produced. No comparable second printing of the second volume has been recorded. The first translation into English of one of the greatest books in all literature to which countless legendary authors -- Shakespeare Chaucer Swift Keats -- are indebted. This anonymous English translation of Boccaccio often ascribed to John Florio is one of a small cluster of imprints to carry the name of Isaac Jaggard joint publisher and printer of Shakespeare's First Folio on the same presses contemporaneous with The First Folio. Described by The New Yorker as "probably the dirtiest great book in the Western canon" The Decameron relates several salacious stories "Wittily discoursed betweene seven Honorable Ladies and three Noble Gentlemen" sheltering in a secluded villa just outside Florence to escape the Black Death tormenting the city. The various tales of love and lust in The Decameron range from the erotic to the tragic. Tales of wit practical jokes and life lessons contribute to the mosaic. In 1559 when the Vatican first produced its Index of Banned Books the Decameron appeared on its first list. The author has even contributed to the Italian language where the word "boccaccesco" we might say "Boccaccio-esque" is used to describe something salacious or lewd. In the end "Boccaccio creates a human panorama of love courage cowardice wit wisdom deceit and folly. If he does not teach the art of living virtuously he does the 'art of living well" Boorstin 266-70. Small ink annotation to front free endpaper pencil bibliographic annotations to first leaf and recto of rear free endpaper the latter signed "Mr. B. Quaritch Ltd". Text generally clean and fresh with only a few spots of light foxing a tiny bit of light marginal dampstaining to a few leaves front inner hinge expertly reinforced. Occasional tiny hole to leaves affecting letters but not sense of text. An excellent copy handsomely bound. Book #Bv2407. $50000.
