Item Details

Description

1870 Decameron Boccaccio Italian Black Death Bubonic Plague Flameng Illustrated

“Human it is to have compassion on the unhappy”

― Giovanni Boccaccio

‘The Decameron’ is one of the most famous novels of the 14th-century. Written by humanist author Giovanni Boccaccio, ‘Decameron’ is a collection of short stories and tales told by a group of friends who are seeking to escape the Black Death in Florence, Italy. The stories cover a wide variety of topics including jokes and humor, erotic love, tragedy, adventures, and folk and mythology tales.

Fascinating and at times provocative, this undated late 19th-century edition was published by Gebbie and Barrie, revised by W.K. Kelly, and includes 22 illustrations by Leopold Flameng, thus, ‘the Flameng edition’.
