Second Sansovino edition of Boccaccio's first important work Il Filocolo here Filocopo a prose romance written ca. 1334-1336 about twenty years before the Decameron. Boccaccio reworked the 12th-century French love story of Floire Florio muslim Prince of Andalusia and Blancheflor Biancifiore the orphaned daughter of his mother's Roman Christian lady-in-waiting. They grow up together in the royal household but when they fall in love his parents try to break up the romance by selling her to merchants who will take her to Alexandria to join a harem. Florio under the pseudonym Filocopo rescues and marries her. He converts to Christianity and they return home where he ascends the throne and his people embrace Christianity. Boccaccio introduced many new elements into the story and told it with his usual flare for often risqué humour. It served as inspiration for writers around the world from Chaucer to Keats and Boccaccio himself further developed several episodes for stories in his Decameron.Francesco Sansovino 1521-1583 had produced the first variorum edition of the Decameron in 1546 and then turned his editorial scholarship to Il Filocolo beginning with Gaetano's text editions in 1527 and 1538.
