Amorous Fiammetta
By Giovanni Boccaccio
Revised From The Only English Translation With An Introduction by Edward Hutton
Published by The Navarre Society Limited: London 1926 Limited Edition

"Giovanni Boccaccio (1313 - 1375) was an Italian writer, poet, correspondent of Petrarch, and an important Renaissance humanist. Born in the town of Certaldo, he became so well known as a writer that he was sometimes simply known as "the Certaldese" and one of the most important figures in the European literary panorama of the fourteenth century. Some scholars (including Vittore Branca) define him as the greatest European prose writer of his time, a versatile writer who amalgamated different literary trends and genres, making them converge in original works, thanks to a creative activity exercised under the banner of experimentalism."
