italian-studies: Scholarly discussions in any field of Italian studies Re query on editorial fortunes by Tom Willette: There is a series called "I classici italiani nella storia della critica" (Palermo, Palumbo) and there is certainly a volume on Boccaccio, authored, by Franco Fido. Of course, these volumes are in Italian, I do not know whether the one on Boccaccio has been translated.

For a book on the publication history and reception of the editio princeps of the VITA of Benvenuto Cellini (Naples 1730) I am studying the editorial fortunes of Dante, Boccaccio, Galileo and other representatives of the Tuscan language whose works were reprinted, sometimes clandestinely, in the first decades of the 18th century. I have made good use, for instance, of Domenico Pietropaolo's DANTE STUDIES IN THE AGE OF VICO. However, I have not found any similar study of Boccaccio's writings, and I wonder if you might, off the top of your head, be able to suggest where I might look for a synthetic account of Boccaccio's importance in the early Settecento. I would be very grateful for any advice. With best wishes, Tom Willette Thomas Willette Assistant Professor Department of the History of Art University of Michigan Tappan Hall 110 519 S.
