Second Giunta edition of the "Corbaccio" which first appeared in 1487 and was first and similarly anonymously printed by Filippo Giunta in 1516: "una materiale ristampa di questa edizione fatta pagina a pagina e riga a riga" Gamba; "ces deux editions sont assez rares" Brunet. This bawdy satire supposedly based on a Florentine widow who turned down Boccaccio was as popular as it remains controversial for its scurrilous and misogynistic elements. The text is prefixed by a letter from Filippo Giuntas son Bernardo "agli amatori della lingua Toscana"; leaves 57ff. contain Boccaccios letter to Pino di Rossi.With the engraved bookplate of Lord Robert Spencer 1747-1831 British Whig politician on the front paste-down.

Early French edition. <br /> <br /> A rare late-16th century French edition of Boccaccio’s Decameron one of the foundational works of Western literature and a cornerstone of Renaissance humanist storytelling. First written in the 14th century the Decameron comprises one hundred novellas told by ten young Florentines sheltering outside the city during the Black Death. The tales range from romantic and tragic to humorous erotic moral and political forming one of the most influential narrative sequences in European literary history. This 1597 Amsterdam printing uses the celebrated French translation of Antoine Le Maçon court favorite of Francis I and is a corrected and illustrated edition compared to earlier printings making it an important early Continental witness to the French reception of Boccaccio.<br /> <br /> This volume would be an exceptional addition for collectors of Renaissance literature early printing French editions of classics plague-era narratives and works pivotal in shaping Chaucer Shakespeare Molière Balzac and countless authors thereafter. Internally the text remains highly readable with its original period typeface early pagination woodcut ornaments and decorative printer’s devices at title and colophon. The closing leaf states FIN with an ornamental tailpiece consistent with 16th-century printing conventions. Includes the full cycle of tales including stories of love cleverness vice clergy satire virtue rewarded and the social wit that earned Boccaccio both admiration and censorship for centuries.<br /> <br /> Condition & Binding: Period full leather binding with raised bands and gilt spine ornamentation well-worn with rubbing and losses spine cracking and some leather deterioration see photos.

It was for the most part due to writers engaged by Anne of Brittany or attracted by the possibility of her patronage as Antoine Vérard could be that literature to the praise and defense of women was promoted in the French court.</p><p>The title only contains two lines of text.

The latter belongs to a generation of French humanists under the reign of Charles VI re-discovering and celebrating classical literature since Cicero until Petrarch and Boccaccio. He was a scholar Latinist much appreciated by the humanists of his time but what mostly made his glory were the translations into French from Latin or Latin texts versions of originally Greek or Italian texts made for aristocrat sponsors.</p><p>Bechtel mentions a cut in the word "nouvellement" on the title uncut in our copy and therefore labelled as: "novellement".</p><p><strong>Précious copy.</strong></p><p>In half a century only one other complete copy appeared on the public market sold for 35 000 € 30 years ago.

Folio 31.5 x 21.5 cm. With Jean Andrés woodcut flaming heart and caged bird device on the title-page and 15 woodcut illustrations plus 21 repeats in the text mostly 5.5 x 8 cm each in any of several 4-piece decorative borders including 8 foot pieces each with a different coat of arms; one illustration 13.5 x 8.5 cm with an 8-piece decorative border 5 woodcut decorated initials 2 series plus 1 repeat and many spaces with guide-letters for manuscript initials not filled in. Set in a roman type with shoulder notes and some verses in italic and a large roman for headings. Jean André issue of the extremely influential first French-language edition by Adrien Sevin of Boccaccio's first major work Il filocolo ca. 1336 a prose tale detailing the romantic love and adventures of Florio and Biancafiore based on the ca. 1160 French verse romance Floire et Blancheflor written at the request of Boccaccio's muse "Fiammetta". Boccaccio's version served as the model for Chaucer's more than fifty years later but it is a reworking rather than a translation so it was largely through the present printed translation that Il philocope a precursor of the better known Decameron became known north of the Alps. The fine woodcut illustrations first appeared in Janot's 1540 edition of Amadis de Gaula and after the Philocope also for several other romances. The borders used with them in these works are apparently older for two of the head borders are dated 1520. King François I of France who reigned from 1515 to 1547 greatly admired the Italian Renaissance and encouraged Italian influences in many aspects of French culture. The present book reflects that movement both as a model of French Renaissance prose under Italian influence and as an example of book production using new roman and italic types in the new style introduced under Italian influence in the 1530s.With the small letterpress bookplate and the armorial bookplate of Charles Bouchelet de Vendegies Comte d'Hust 1772- 1851 and a later bookplate of the Swiss collector Albert Natural. With a few mostly marginal defects and early repairs but with three repaired tears in the text one also in a woodcut but so skilfully repaired that it is barely visible in the woodcut. One of the repeated woodcuts has a small abrasion. Otherwise in good condition. The binding has restorations to the hinges and corners and the spine shows some superficial cracks and flaking but nearly all of the tooling remains clear. The very influential first French edition of Boccaccio's first major work with excellent woodcut illustrations.l BMC STC French p. 71 Janot issue; Brun Le livre français illustré p. 158; Mortimer French 105 Janot issue; Rawles Denis Janot . 1976 PhD thesis 164; Renouard Imprimeurs Parisiens 155; USTC 37796 & 92444 8 copies; see 37799 65503 & 92444 for the other issues; cf.
