Overview
This fiery Baroque-inspired cover comes from a 1725 binding of The Decameron of Giovanni Boccaccio, a masterpiece of Italian literature. Giovanni Boccaccio (1313-1375) was an Italian writer and poet who helped lay the foundations of Renaissance humanism. His defining work, The Decameron, is a collection of novellas, each narrated by one of ten main characters who find shelter from the Black Death in a secluded villa just outside Florence in 1348. With its scope from humour to tragedy and its vivid narrative structure, The Decameron remains an affirmation of humanity and moral values even when read today.Format: MidiSize: Width: 120mm (43/4") x Height: 175mm (63/4") x Depth: 12mm (1/2")Interior: LinedSpace between lines: 6.67mmLines Per Page: 21Page Count: 176PagesClosure: Elastic BandColour: RedGSM (paper weight): 100Binding Type: Smyth SewnCover: SoftcoverEdge Printing: NoPouch Type: Back Cover PouchInterior Paper: SmoothRibbon Markers: 1Decorative printed cover paperFSC-certified text paperThreaded stitching and glue, as neededCloth headbandsAcid-free sustainable forest paperFlexible cover and spine
