Specialist Notes

Edition to be considered in every respect the most correct and elegant of this famous masterpiece of the misogynistic genre, elsewhere also titled «Labyrinth of Love». After the «Decameron», it is the most universally studied and esteemed work of Boccaccio. Bibliography: Bacchi della Lega, 118: «Edition judged to be better than any other». Gamba, 206. Brunet, I, 1016: «Edition indicated by the Academie de la Crusca, elle est rare».
