A few old effaced inscriptions.An attractive copy of the second edition of De mulieribus claris in French using the text of Antoine VÃ©rard's edition of 1493. Although VÃ©rard had tried to pass the translation off as his own it was in fact a slightly revised version of an anonymous French translation made ca. 1401. VÃ©rard's editions of Boccaccio in French had made the writer more accessible to a French public but it was not until the sixteenth century that his works became more widely known and frequently imitated. This was the "golden age" for Boccaccio in France which would draw to a close with the restrictions placed by the Church on the racier passages of the Decameron.On Famous Women was the first biographical survey devoted exclusively to women in Western literature. But in spite of the plethora of surviving Latin manuscripts of the text Boccaccio's survey of 106 women of distinction some for their vices drawn from the Bible mythology history and from amongst Boccaccio's contemporaries was of less interest to sixteenth-century French readers than Griseldis Fiametta or indeed the Decameron. Forty-five years had passed since the appearance of the first printed edition in French before a group of Paris publisher-booksellers decided to publish the work anew. In order either to blanket the market to obviate pirate editions or to spread the risk no fewer than thirteen booksellers shared this pocket-sized edition. The first and last quires containing the titles colophons and publishers' devices appear to have been reset for the various issues cf. Hortis's transcriptions. The present copy bears the imprint of Philippe Le Noir and the woodcut device of Guillaume Le Bret. The printer was recently identified as Jean RÃ©al whose metalcut capital initials are used at the head of each chapter. This was the first book from his press.Â The typographic manicules in the text were added by the printer as a finding aid to signal the Latin articulating phrases left in by the translator the Latin phrases appear also in VÃ©rard's edition but without any specific typographic mark highlighting them.Two US copies located at Princeton and Smith College.
