1906170171London: Henry F. Bumpus 1906. A finely bound copy of Rigg's edition the "most long lived of the early 20th-century versions" Armstrong p. 270. First published in 1903 in 1930 the translation was used for the Everyman's Library series and it remained the canonical British Decameron for the next half century. Rigg's translation leaves the most explicit part of the erotic story cycle in Italian the effects of which Armstrong argues "have been far-reaching for the reputation of Boccaccio in the British Isles at least. the editorial decision to demarcate the censorship in this way has no doubt contributed to the notorious reputation of this book as a repository of obscenity" ibid. p. 272. The Chalon plates originally appeared as a set of 20 alongside John Payne's translation of 1893; for Rigg's edition the publishers cut the number to the 12 least explicit plates. It also features woodcut reproductions in the introduction after the first illustrated Decameron published in Venice in 1492. 2 vols octavo 256 x 181 mm. Photogravure frontispiece to vol.

Giovanni Boccaccio was educated in Florence and Naples where he studied law and had a great interest in literature. He was particularly inspired by the works of Dante and Petrarch to begin writing his own poetry and romantic prose. Boccaccio composed The Decameron which includes a first-hand account of the ravages of the Black Death in 1348 after the plague gravely affected his own family. In The Decameron seven women and three men escape Florence for a villa in the country to avoid coming in contact with the deadly disease. Over a period of ten days they take turns telling ten stories each. Although the stories themselves were not original Boccaccio 's poetic language enriches the narrative making it one of the best-known works of Italian literature. The first printed edition of The Decameron was published in 1470 in Venice and the work has been translated into almost every language since. B. W.

It certainly derives from the Italian 'corvo' i.e. crow possibly recalling the satire Ibis by Ovid one of Boccaccio's favourite sources.</p> Gabriele Giolito de Ferrari

Entrambi i ritratti sono disegnati da Ferdinando Moutier e incisi da Giovanni Della Bella. Buon esemplare ben completo dei 17 tomi e delle due tavole incise; sparsi arrossamenti e fioriture lievi segni d'usura da scaffale sui piatti. Bella edizione delle opere di Boccaccio curata dal letterato fiorentino Ignazio Moutier cui si deve tra l'altro l'edizione del 1823 della Cronica di Giovanni Villani. La raccolta comprende tutte le opere in volgare del Boccaccio compresa la Caccia di Diana di cui costituisce la prima edizione a stampa e il testamento dell'autore presentato anche in latino.; il curatore rende conto negli apparati delle scelte ed emendazioni ortografiche operate delle edizioni a stampa esaminate dei manoscritti riscontrati: per la Caccia di Diana ad esempio fino ad allora misconosciuta e mai pubblicata il curatore si avvalse dei codici 1059 1060 e 1066 della Biblioteca Riccardiana e del codice della Biblioteca Laurenziana Pluteo 90 superiore 93. Per il Decamerone il curatore si rifà alla lezione dell'abate Colombo data alle stampe in Parma nel 1812 includendone la prefazione e le note accanto ad altre «del Martinelli del Rolli e alcune del Mannelli»; inclusa anche la Lezione e le Osservazioni di Luigi Fiacchi e il Corbaccio nella lezione del codice Mannelli. La cura filologica fu apprezzata dall'attento Bartolomeo Gamba che nella Serie di testi di lingua scriveva: «Deesi alle diligenti cure d'Ignazio Moutier la pregevolissima raccolta presente in cui le diverse opere dell'archimandrita della italiana letteratura vennero possibilmente emendate col ragguaglio dei codici». L'esemplare qui proposto porta sulle legature le armi della famiglia Strozzi ripetute sui frontespizi con il motto «Expecto»; la biblioteca della casata fu soggette a varie fortune e smembramenti: già nel 1785 all'estinzione del ramo maschile i codici furono donati da Maria Caterina alla Laurenziana e alla Magliabechiana mentre i libri a stampa furono venduti dalle eredi Eleonora e Anna Strozzi «dopo averli offerti in vendita al Governo che si rifiutò di comprarli» Minicucci Roberto Ridolfi mago bibliotecario in La Bibliofilia vol. 99 n. 2 1997. Nell'Ottocento il principe Ferdinando Strozzi ricostituì parte della biblioteca che fu infine definitivamente dispersa negli anni '30 quando il principe Roberto vendette Palazzo Strozzi all'INA: le carte manoscritte attraverso diverse acquisizioni e donazioni passarono sotto la tutela pubblica mentre i libri a stampa furono in parte acquistati da Roberto Ridolfi in parte posti in vendita popolando i cataloghi di Hoepli Olschki De Marinis e altre librerie antiquarie e case d'asta.

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.
