1916Best.-Nr. 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.

1569Best.-Nr. 746Paris: Morel 1569. Hardcover. Fair. The last Italian novel that Boccaccio prepared Il Corbaccio The Crow; around this time 1354-55 a.d. and after Boccaccio primarily focused on Latin works. This copy is a 1569 edition in the original Italian but printed in France by Morel but Morel Italianized his name to appeal to Italians on the title page. This novel finds some disfavor with modern readers. In this work a man is being rebutted by a widow but upon falling asleep her dead husband visits him and confides in him all the ways she's best left alone. In concert the sleeping man and the dead man decide to write this work warning young men of the deceits of some women. The work has since been dubbed ""misogynistic"" despite at almost the same time Boccaccio preparing his Latin work recording a selection of noble women De Claris Mulieribus. Other's claim that surely Boccaccio must have been jilted by a widow to write such a scathing work. About Boccaccio - Giovanni Boccaccio 1313 1375 was an Italian writer poet correspondent of Petrarch and an important Renaissance humanist. Born in the town of Certaldo he became so well known as a writer that he was sometimes simply known as ""the Certaldese"" and 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. His most notable work is The Decameron. About the Printer from the website Printing in France - ""In 1549 Morel decided like many before him to get involved in the book trade. He became a proof-reader for Charlotte Guillard d. 1557 one of the famous woman printers of sixteenth-century Paris. In 1557 Morel decided to become a printer himself following the death of Charlotte Guillard in the same year. By 1570 Fédéric I Morel was one of the most prestigious printers in Paris. It is thus not surprising to see him being appointed royal printer on 4 March 1571 following the move by his wifes cousin Robert II Estienne to Geneva."" Provenance - Ex-libris plate of George Benson Weston a Harvard and Columbia graduate who edited a work on Italian literature. Also his inscription stating that he bought the book in Naples in 1904.
