First published in 1997. Routledge is an imprint of Taylor &
Francis, an informa company.
Considered one of the first prose works in Italian and a precursor
of the "Decameron, "this is the first complete translation of the
"Novellino" into English, based on the 1525 editio princeps. While
manuscripts vary as to wording and the number of tales, the 1525
first edition follows seven of the eight known manuscripts closely.
The text includes a transcription of the 1525 edition, taken from
the copy in the Parma Biblioteca Palatina. This transcription has
been altered as little as possible, diacriticals are added and
capitalization is systematized, but no attempt has been made to
modernize the language. Vocabulary notes are provided, as are ample
notes to explain the historical and cultural significance of
figures and events in the tales. There is one bibliography for the
"Novellino" and another for the explanatory notes. Index
