Dear list members,
I was wondering if any of you could help me with the following
query. I'm doing some background research on a rather obscure text by
Boccaccio, which in English is entitled: 'The tragedies gathered by Ihon
Bochas of all such princes as fell from theyr estates'. The Short Title
Catalogue has tentatively dated the translation that I am working with as
1555, though there is some speculation over this. Many of the extant
copies of this work are without frontispiece, and the English version
appears every so often in book auction catalogues. Has anyone any
information regarding the original Italian edition, or any suggestions for
further enquiries??
Thanks,
Domenico Zanre.
