Theme Search Advanced Search The Ebookstore is a trademark of Unitel Inc Giovanni Boccaccio Italian Author The ghost of the Black Death Born in Florence, Giovanni was the illegitimate son of a rich merchant, Boccaccino di Chellino, who recognized him officially. The biographer Filippo Villani, writes that the author of the famous Decameron was acute, humorous and unpretentious. Later he married Margherita de Mardoli, a woman of the Italian gentry. His father wanted him to become a merchant or, better, a lawyer, to access the highest ranks of society, but Giovanni had no interest for these professions and was considering himself as a poet. In 1348-1351 Florence is striken by the premices of the Black Death. Boccaccio loses then his father, step-mother and numerous friends, at a time when he writes his Decameron. Boccaccio had an immense admiration for his two great contemporaries Dante and Petrarch, and had a long friendship with the latter.

Treasures of Saxon State Library Medieval and Renaissance Manuscripts The collection expanded to include all areas of knowledge: fourteenth-century copies of Ovid and Petrarch; Medieval histories of Meissen and Bohemia; Biblical, legal, and medical manuscripts; and a fourteenth-century genealogy of the Frankish kings. With the destruction of some of these priceless possessions during the bombings of 1945, the Library now has approximately 400 Medieval and Renaissance manuscripts. This exhibit displays a small sampling, from the tenth-century Evangelia and the superb Hebraic Machsor, to a fine manuscript of Boccaccio, and a fifteenth-century history of the ancient world. Latin Gospel passages used in Catholic Mass This collection of Gospel passages for use in Catholic mass is one of the oldest, most priceless manuscripts in the library. The tenth-century manuscript, of German origin, has colorful initials, sometimes in the form of stylized animal figures, connecting it with very early Germanic art. The manuscript is open to the text of St. Matthew's Gospel describing the passion of Jesus Christ.

My influences included 'Dante'. Italian novelist, b. in Paris, 1313; d. in Certaldo, 21 December, 1375. His father, a merchant from Certaldo and a man of some prominence in Florence, had gone into business in Paris. Shortly afterwards the elder Boccaccio deserted Giannina, the mother of Giovanni, and brought the boy to Florence where he put him to school until he was ten years old, when he took him into business. In 1327 Giovanni was sent to Naples to study law. But he gave himself up almost entirely to literature, and became intimately acquainted with some of the most prominent men and women of the court of Anjou. It is supposed that it was in 1334 that he saw for the first time Maria d'Acquino, a married woman and natural daughter of King Robert. She was the inspiration of his earlier works, and the heroine of whom he tells under the name of Fiammetta.

74. A Hundred Highlights From The Koninklijke Bibliotheek, Nr. 26 Giovanni Boccaccio (13131375), the Italian Renaissance poet and writer, becameworld-famous by his collection of novelle, Il Decamerone, written in Italian. http://www.kb.nl/kb/100hoogte/hh-en/hh026-en.html

26 Boccaccio Provenance: Jacob Visser collection, 1809 169 E 37 fol. H6v Giovanni Boccaccio (1313-1375), the Italian Renaissance poet and writer, became world-famous by his collection of novelle, Il Decamerone , written in Italian. Although translations into German, French, and Spanish appeared as early as the fifteenth century, it was not until 1564 that the first - incomplete - Dutch translation was published. It was made by Coornhert and called 50 lustige historien Around 1362 Boccaccio wrote his De claris mulieribus , 104 brief biographies of famous women, in Latin. It has come down to us in many manuscripts, and was first printed in Ulm, by Johan Zainer in 1473, followed by another edition in Strassbourg and a 1487 Louvain edition by Aegidius van der Heerstraten. The latter is an elaborately illustrated work with 76 woodcuts, all except the one representing Eve freely copied from Zainer. The famous women have many queens in their midst, like Semiramis, Queen of Assyria, Penthesileia, Queen of the Amazons, and Hecuba, Queen of Troy. Included are also the even more famous Helen of Troy, Penelope, Odysseus' wife, Sappho the poetess of Lesbos and the female pope, Joan. The illustration on the opposite page shows Cleopatra. Mark Antony has already killed himself by his sword after the fall of Alexandria in the year 30, and Cleopatra is depicted holding the poisonous snakes that are to take her life. Boccaccio's book on famous men was only published in the Netherlands in the fifteenth century in a French translation, printed by Mansion in Bruges. Dutch translations of both books had to wait till the sixteenth century: the famous women appeared in 1525, the famous men in 1526, both published in Antwerp by Claes de Grave.

Main Page Recent changes Edit this page Page history ... Legal smallprint Not logged in Log in Help Giovanni Boccaccio From Cunnan, ye olde wiki. Giovanni Boccaccio (1313-1375) was born in Paris, France , although his father was from Florence, Italy and he later married a Florentine. Boccaccio became one of the leading proponents of early humanism through many of his writings, after being educated in canon law His best known work is The Decameron . The book is set in a rural location outside of Florence, Italy where a group of 10 men and women each tell one story per day over each of 10 days. The stories in The Decameron take a large side-swipe at both church and state of the day, and in particular the stereotyped "humble friar", cops a huge shellacking for his lack of biblical knowledge and gluttony. The works are also fairly lascivious in tone, given the 14th century setting in which they were written. The work has often been seen as an antidote for Dante 's works including The Divine Comedy References Boccaccio page at humanistictexts.org Edit this page Discuss this page Page history ...
