1530 Filocolo by Giovanni
Boccaccio Floris & Blancheflour Italian Romanticism
“Human it is to have compassion on the
unhappy”
― Giovanni Boccaccio
Giovanni Boccaccio was a 14th-century Italian poet and
important humanist during the Renaissance. Prior to the popularity and
successes of ‘The Decameron’ in 1351,
Boccaccio wrote what is considered to be his first great work – ‘The Filocolo’. This work, which was
known to inspire portions of Chaucer’s ‘Canterbury Tales’, was based on the
Medieval story of ‘Floris and
Blancheflour’.
This 1530 edition was published in Venice and is incredibly rare!
