The Decameron of Giovanni Boccaccio - Part II (Dodo Press)

By: Giovanni Boccaccio

Giovanni Boccaccio (1313-1375) was an Italian author and poet, a friend and correspondent of Petrarch, and an important Renaissance humanist in his own right and author of a number of notable works including: On Famous Women: The Decameron and his poetry in the vernacular. Boccaccio's characters are notable for their era in that they are realistic, spirited and clever individuals who are grounded in reality. It is believed he was tutored by Giovanni Mazzuoli and received from him an early introduction to the works of Dante. In Naples, he began what he considered his true vocation, poetry. Works produced in this period include: Filostrato, Teseida, Filocolo a prose version of an existing French romance, and La Caccia di Diana a poem in octave rhyme listing Neapolitan women. He began work on The Decameron of Giovanni Boccaccio around 1349. The work was largely complete by 1352 and it was Boccaccio's final effort in literature and one of his last works in Italian. Amongst his other works are La Fiammetta, Life of Dante and A Story of Ravenna.

The Decameron of Giovanni Boccaccio

100 Timeless Tales for the Solace of Ladies in Love

By: Giovanni Boccaccio

In Medieval Italy, seven young women and three young men flee plague-ridden Florence for the countryside, where, over the course of ten carefree days, each tells ten stories of intrigue and romance-100 tales in all. First published in the 1300s, these lusty tales are still as entertaining and diverting as they were during the Middle Ages. Here noblemen and ladies, peasants and princesses, cavort together in a magnificent collection of timeless tales brimming with life and love. The Decameron is a big book, and most publishers try to pack it into small newsprint pages with tiny, nearly unreadable type. This edition, on the other hand, has been newly designed and printed on large-format, high-quality paper with easy-to-read type, making it a deluxe volume at a still-reasonable price.

Giovanni Boccaccio: The Most Pleasant and Delectable Questions of Love

By: Giovanni Boccaccio

This is a translation of Boccaccio`s "Il libro di Difinizioni", first translated into English by "H.G." (probably Henry Grantham) in London, 1566. Giovanni Boccaccio (1313 – 21 December 1375) was an Italian author and poet, a friend, student, and correspondent of Petrarch, an important Renaissance humanist and the author of a number of notable works including the Decameron, On Famous Women, and his poetry in the Italian vernacular. Boccaccio is particularly notable for his dialogue, of which it has been said that it surpasses in verisimilitude that of virtually all of his contemporaries, since they were medieval writers and often followed formulaic models for character and plot.
