1703146400Amsterdam: Giovanni Ghiara 1703. Early eighteenth century edition of Giovanni Boccaccio’s masterpiece. Duodecimo original full brown calf with gilt titles and tooling to the spine marbled endpapers all edges speckled blue illustrated with engraved headpieces and initials. In very good condition contemporary ownership signatures to the front and rear flyleaves. 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 unknown
1727874London 1727. <br /> <br /> Decameron remains one of the foundational works of European literature comprising one hundred novellas told over ten days by a group of young Florentines fleeing the Black Death. Blending satire wit eroticism social criticism and moral ambiguity the work profoundly influenced Renaissance and later European storytelling traditions including Chaucer and Shakespeare. This 1727 edition preserves the text in Italian and reflects the enduring circulation of Boccaccio in eighteenth-century continental and expatriate printing culture. Particularly notable in this set are the extensive contemporary or near-contemporary manuscript annotations and marginalia in Italian appearing throughout portions of the text. These annotations are substantial rather than casual ownership marks suggesting close scholarly or literary engagement by an early reader.<br /> <br /> Condition & Binding: Bound in contemporary full calf two volumes with raised bands gilt-ruled compartments and red morocco spine labels lettered in gilt. Bindings rubbed and worn with some loss at spine ends and corners heavier to Volume II; joints tender but holding. Text blocks generally sound and complete. Light to moderate foxing toning and scattered staining throughout including several dampstains and marginal marks. Overall- good. unknown
