Simms of Manchester. <br/><br/>Good large quarto copy of Giovanni Boccaccios Decameron redacted by Luigi Groto 1541-1582 from the edition edited by Girolamo Ruscelli 1500s-1556 and first published two years previously. Groto a minor Venetian writer reworked Boccaccios famous tale; retaining parts of the original parable but also creating his own tangents. Groto for instance created a predicament concerning a young man who finds himself confronted by three different ladies he has been secretly courting. When his deceit is discovered he must answer as to which of them is his true love. The lengthy narration of the amoroso imbroglio is Grotos own literary stamp and he hoped with these revisions he would gain literary fame stating I will give life and light to Boccaccio and he will do likewise for me . I will rescue him from darkness and burial and he in turn will rescue me from obscurity Ironically Grotos retelling of the Decameron remains known for it deformations of the tale rather than its celebration. Each of the ten sections are preceded by an overview written by Ruscelli the well-known editor of Ptolemys Geographia of 1754 and a large woodcut illustration depicting narrative scenes of the Decameron tale. Brunet I 1002; STC Italy I: p.256. appresso Fabio e Agostino Zoppini fratelli e Onofrio Farri compagni hardcover books

The whimsical added title complements this monumental Italian humanist work; a defense of poetry and a synthesis of ancient mythological sources which justified the study of pagan literature within a Christian context. <br/><br/>Betussis Italian translation of Boccaccios medieval work on progeny in classical times a veritable mythological encyclopedia that aimed to solve questions about lines of succession. Boccaccios Genealogia sought to preserve the past from oblivion by creating an almanac of inter-related families including the competing noble houses in order to organize lines of descent. With the Genealogia Boccaccio aimed to solve contradictory accounts of hereditary matters by assuming the existence of pagan gods and organizing their progeny - Jupiter I and Jupiter II for instance. Perhaps most contentious was Boccaccios identification of Demogorgon as the ultimate progenitor of all pagan divinities description starting on page 5 who was also associated with Satans netherworld conspirators. The Genealogia reputedly had been copied and transmitted before its completion apparently without the consent of Boccaccio. The earliest Latin editions all follow the first of 1472. This is a later edition of Giuseppe Betussis Italian translation of the Genealogia; Betussis first was printed in Venice by Comino da Trino di Monferrato in 1547. Nearly a dozen subsequent editions follow this date well into the seventeenth century. Betussi was a prominent man of letters in Paduas Accademia and was at the avant-garde of those promoting the substitution of Italian for Latin as the language of scholarly literature. To his edition Betussi added a ten-page biography of Boccaccio and alphabetical indices corresponding to page numbers not book or chapter. The Genealogia became a standard reference works for readers who wished to disentangle the complexities of Greco-Roman mythology. The work was enormous in scope covering approximately 950 individuals groups and beasts both named and unnamed in fifteen books and 723 chapters with over a thousand citations from Greek Roman medieval and Trecento authors. Near the end of the sixteenth century the Genealogia while mostly out of the public eye still provided source material for numerous authors including Edmund Spenser and his work on Christianized paganism. This edition rare OCLC lists one other in Toulouse. Giovanni Antonio Bertano paperback books

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.
