The tales which vary from erotic to tragic witty to instructive offer a vivid portrayal of 14th-century life and underscore the human experience with humor and wisdom. Boccaccio's work written in the Florentine vernacular is celebrated for its dynamic and realistic dialogue. Boccaccio is revered as a pioneering humanist and for his contributions to the promotion and interpretation of Dante's works earning him a place among the "Three Crowns" of Italian literature.</p><p><strong>This limited edition is hand-numbered #109 of 1000. </strong>Translated into English prose and verse by John Payne this two-volume set also includes 20 exquisite full-page illustrations.</p><p>Item number: #41616</p><p>Price: $499</p><p>BOCCACCIO Giovanni; PAYNE John</p><p><strong><em>The Decameron of Giovanni Boccacci Il Boccaccio.

1906170171London: Henry F. Bumpus 1906. A finely bound copy of Rigg's edition the "most long lived of the early 20th-century versions" Armstrong p. 270. First published in 1903 in 1930 the translation was used for the Everyman's Library series and it remained the canonical British Decameron for the next half century. Rigg's translation leaves the most explicit part of the erotic story cycle in Italian the effects of which Armstrong argues "have been far-reaching for the reputation of Boccaccio in the British Isles at least. the editorial decision to demarcate the censorship in this way has no doubt contributed to the notorious reputation of this book as a repository of obscenity" ibid. p. 272. The Chalon plates originally appeared as a set of 20 alongside John Payne's translation of 1893; for Rigg's edition the publishers cut the number to the 12 least explicit plates. It also features woodcut reproductions in the introduction after the first illustrated Decameron published in Venice in 1492. 2 vols octavo 256 x 181 mm. Photogravure frontispiece to vol. I 11 similar plates all after oil paintings by Louis Chalon woodcut reproductions to text title page printed in red and black. Contemporary red straight grain morocco spine lettered and decorated in gilt covers bordered in gilt with green onlay to corners gilt inner dentelles red silk endpapers top edges gilt fore and bottom edges uncut. Minor skinning to edges of endpapers scattered foxing to contents. A near-fine copy. Guyda Armstrong The English Boccaccio: A History in Books 2013. unknown
