1901 Ltd Ed The DECAMERON Giovanni BOCCACCIO Human Comedy Black Death English 2v

"The Decameron" by Giovanni Boccaccio is a classic of Italian literature composed of 100 stories narrated by ten people—seven women and three men—who seek refuge in a villa outside Florence to escape the Black Death. The tales, which vary from erotic to tragic, witty to instructive, offer a vivid portrayal of 14th-century life and underscore the human experience with humor and wisdom. Boccaccio's work, written in the Florentine vernacular, is celebrated for its dynamic and realistic dialogue. Boccaccio is revered as a pioneering humanist and for his contributions to the promotion and interpretation of Dante's works, earning him a place among the "Three Crowns" of Italian literature.

This limited edition is hand-numbered, #109 (of 1000). Translated into English prose and verse by John Payne, this two-volume set also includes 20 exquisite, full-page illustrations.
