Item description from seller

xvi, 363 p. Das Exemplar ist in einem sehr guten und sauberen Zustand ohne Anstreichungen. / The copy is in a very good and clean condition without markings. -- CONTENTS -- PREFACE -- CONTENTS -- LIST OF PRINCIPAL WORKS REFERRED TO THE SOURCES, ETC., OF THE TALES IN THE DECAMERON -- INDEX -- PREFACE -- (Extract:) An attempt has been made in the following pages to give a concise, but as far as possible complete, account of the sources of the tales in Boccaccio's Decameron, with notices of the various parallels and analogues. There are, of course, several works treating the subject of the Decameron from different points of view, and a few monographs dealing exhaustively with certain selected tales, but, so far as the author is aware, there is no one work dealing with the subject as a whole. Manni, in his 'Istoria del Decamerone,' devotes himself mainly to the historical aspect of the tales, and Landau, in his 'Quellen,' confines himself almost entirely to the sources; whilst Dunlop, in his 'History of Prose Fiction,' although dealing with the subject from the point of view of allied tales as well as sources, was natur-ally prevented by the scope of his work from treating the whole of the tales in an exhaustive manner, and other writers have either only dealt with certain tales or with the subject incidentally. To have given full abstracts or analyses of all the allied tales referred to, many of them the merest repetitions one from another, would have required several volumes and served no useful end; but it is hoped that the short notices of such of the tales of which abstracts are not furnished will suffice to shew their relationship to the tales in the Decameron. Completeness in such a work can hardly be looked for, but the author ventures to express the hope that he has in many cases filled up some of the 'lacunæ' of previous writers. A. COLLINGWOOD LEE.
