The Decameron.: Faithfully translated by J. M. Rigg. Illustrated by Louis Chalon.
by BOCCACCIO, Giovanni
- Used
- Hardcover
London: Privately printed, c.1920. A handsome edition de luxe, one of "1,000 copies printed for England and America" on japon paper. J. M. Rigg's translation was first put out by A. H. Bullen in 1903 and is described by Gyula Armstrong, in her excellent study of Boccaccio in English, as "the first and most long lived" of the early 20th century versions.
"Rigg's translation has had a long afterlife in print, and now digital media. After its 1903 publication by Bullen, a number of further editions comprising the same Rigg translation, editorial paratexts, and Chalon illustrations were reprinted in 1905, 1906, 1920, and 1921... It then became institutionalised as the 'standard' British English Boccaccio in 1930, when it was adopted as the translation used for the Everyman's Library series" (Armstrong, p. 273). 2 volumes, tall octavo. Original moderate green moiré-effect silken cloth, gilt-lettered spines, gilt coat of arms of the city of Florence to each front cover, untrimmed. 15 photogravure plates by Louis Chalon, with tissue guards; title pages printed in red and black. Spines a little sunned, a few superficial scratches to covers. A very good set, unopened in places. Gyula Armstrong, The English Boccaccio: A History in Books, Toronto, University of Toronto Press, 2013.
