Ediz. italiana e inglese. In honor of the seven hundredth anniversary of Giovanni Boccaccio’s birth and in celebration of its first decade of life, Heliotropia, the journal of the American Boccaccio Association, has collected in this volume a series of critical essays, some revised and some brand new, on one of the most important writers of the Middle Ages. The authors consider here not only the Decameron, but also Boccaccio’s minor works and his place in the culture of fourteenth- and fifteenth-century Italy.
