1855pp. 2 [Publisher's catalogue], (2) [Title and copyright pages], 500 + 18 full page steel engravings. printed on yellow paper. Text foxed. Early autograph ownership of William Hay. 12mo. 175 mm. Original red embossed patterned cloth binding. Spine lettered in gold gilt. Hardbound. Very good. The publisher, Calvin Blanchard (1808-1868), had a disreputable reputation. At his shop on Nassau Street 'you could buy all kinds of books that your minister would frown upon - whether for free thought or for obscenity made little difference to this unsavoury Calvin.' Boccaccio is seen as not terribly erotic these days, but in the era before the Civil War it was considered 'stimulating' and 'saucy'. SCARCE. EROS 2 / York DC16

"The Decameron is a collection of novellas by Italian author Giovanni Boccaccio (1313-1375), probably begun in 1350 and finished in 1353. It is a medieval allegorical work best known for its bawdy tales of love, appearing in all its possibilities from the erotic to the tragic. Some believe many parts of the tales are indebted to the influence of The Book of Good Love. Many notable writers, such as Geoffrey Chaucer, are said to have drawn inspiration from The Decameron." - Wiki. **PRICE JUST REDUCED! CLASSICS BX 1
