1897OB312<p>London: Lawrence & Bullen 1897. Hard Cover. 312 pages. 'Ser Giovanni's collection begun in 1378 and finished after 1385 derives its title Il pecorone 'the numbskull'-- a title probably not due to the author-- from the fact that so many pecoroni appear in the book. The frame story tells of a chaplain and a nun who on 25 successive days meet in a convent parlor each telling the other a story each day. About half the stories are fictional; the other half are drawn from the Chronaca of Giovanni Villani. Many of the tales are stupid but a few are definitely good. The best that of Giannetto and the Lady of Belmonte embodies the 'pound of flesh' motif in an excellent plot from which Shakespeare derived directly or indirectly the 'pound of flesh' portion of the plot of The Merchant of Venice' Wilkins. 110 copies printed of which this is number 95. Printed on 'Japanese vellum.' Good copy vellum spine soiled nicked at bottom. Stock#OB312.</p> Lawrence & Bullen hardcover

"The novellino is a collection of fifty stories each one told by the writer separately without any striving after continuity. Masuccio does not trouble himself like certain others of the Novellieri to construct a setting for his work and to feign that the tales are told in turn by the work and to feign that the tales are told in turn by the various members of a gentle company brought together by hazard. He tells us that all his novels are true and that in many cases he is only setting down what he has learnt by the evidence of his senses." . First Edition. Vellum.
