1569746Paris: Morel 1569. Hardcover. Fair. The last Italian novel that Boccaccio prepared Il Corbaccio The Crow; around this time 1354-55 a.d. and after Boccaccio primarily focused on Latin works. This copy is a 1569 edition in the original Italian but printed in France by Morel but Morel Italianized his name to appeal to Italians on the title page. This novel finds some disfavor with modern readers. In this work a man is being rebutted by a widow but upon falling asleep her dead husband visits him and confides in him all the ways she's best left alone. In concert the sleeping man and the dead man decide to write this work warning young men of the deceits of some women. The work has since been dubbed ""misogynistic"" despite at almost the same time Boccaccio preparing his Latin work recording a selection of noble women De Claris Mulieribus. Other's claim that surely Boccaccio must have been jilted by a widow to write such a scathing work. About Boccaccio - Giovanni Boccaccio 1313 1375 was an Italian writer poet correspondent of Petrarch and an important Renaissance humanist. Born in the town of Certaldo he became so well known as a writer that he was sometimes simply known as ""the Certaldese"" and one of the most important figures in the European literary panorama of the fourteenth century. Some scholars including Vittore Branca define him as the greatest European prose writer of his time a versatile writer who amalgamated different literary trends and genres making them converge in original works thanks to a creative activity exercised under the banner of experimentalism. His most notable work is The Decameron. About the Printer from the website Printing in France - ""In 1549 Morel decided like many before him to get involved in the book trade. He became a proof-reader for Charlotte Guillard d. 1557 one of the famous woman printers of sixteenth-century Paris. In 1557 Morel decided to become a printer himself following the death of Charlotte Guillard in the same year. By 1570 Fédéric I Morel was one of the most prestigious printers in Paris. It is thus not surprising to see him being appointed royal printer on 4 March 1571 following the move by his wifes cousin Robert II Estienne to Geneva.""

The Decameron is a collection of novellas by the 14th-century Italian author Giovanni Boccaccio 1313–1375. The book is structured as a frame story containing 100 tales told by a group of seven young women and three young men sheltering in a secluded villa just outside Florence to escape the Black Death which was afflicting the city. Boccaccio probably conceived the Decameron after the epidemic of 1348 and completed it by 1353. The various tales of love in The Decameron range from the erotic to the tragic. Tales of wit practical jokes and life lessons contribute to the mosaic. In addition to its literary value and widespread influence for example on Chaucer's The Canterbury Tales it provides a document of life at the time. Written in the vernacular of the Florentine language it is considered a masterpiece of classical early Italian prose. Giovanni Ghiara hardcover
