An important edition of this classic of Italian literature by Giovanni Boccaccio 1331-1375. This literary ten-day odyssey became the emblem of creative expression in the Italian Renaissance about the human experience its nature and psyche. Boccaccio's epic is edited here by Leonardo Salviati 1540-1589 a Florentine nobleman who was a founder member of the Accademia della Crusca. Its avowed aim was to uphold the purity of the Tuscan language as it had been in the fourteenth century. The Accademia Florentina founded in 1540 was dedicated to the same purpose and Salviati was active in both bodies. In 1584 Salviati published his "Degli Avvertimenti della Lingua sopra il Decamerone" a detailed discussion about the language used by Boccaccio. In this edition of the Decameron Salviati returned to the old texts and dedicated the work to Jacopo Buoncompagni one of his patrons. The text includes many beautiful historiated initials. - A very well printed and rare edition. - Ind.

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.
