About this book
Boccaccio's life, his love for Fiammetta and his work in Tuscan and in Latin are laid out in this 1910 study by Edward Hutton, who had also written on Florence, Umbria, Tuscany and Spain. Hutton sets down what is known of the author of the Decameron, including his friendship with Petrarch and his defence of Dante, and names the source for each fact. Illustrations include a photogravure frontispiece and the traditional portraits of Boccaccio and Fiammetta from the frescoes in the Spanish Chapel of Santa Maria Novella in Florence.
