Part One: The Decameron

Part Two: Histories and Romances

These volumes will cover stories from the Decameron up to and including the 1620 Folio (from the same publisher as Shakespeare’s First Folio, three years later), which has been attributed to Florio as translator, and will also include translations of the Filocolo (Book IV, 1567), the Ninfale fiesolano (1597), and selections from Amorous Fiammetta (1587), as well as Lydgate’s verse adaptation of De casibus, known in English as The Fall of Princes (1494).
