About this book
Begun in 1300, Giovanni Villani's chronicle of Florence is given here in English selections from its first nine books. Rose E. Selfe made the translation, and Philip H. Wicksteed chose the passages and wrote the introduction; this is the revised second edition of 1906. Book I reaches back before Florence itself: the Tower of Babel, King Atlas and the founding of Fiesole, Troy, Aeneas in Italy, and Catiline's conflict with Rome. Marginal references link passages to Dante's works.
