Item description from seller

Language: English. Approximately 258 pages. English: Print-on-demand reprint. Original edition : 1846. Text in English. This edition reproduces eight novels originally published by Barnaby Riche in 1581, reprinted from a copy held in the Bodleian Library. Several of the tales are adapted from Italian sources. The volume includes a ninth story, Belthaser, which bears similarities to Machiavelli's Marriage of Belphegor. The editor, John Payne Collier, based this edition on a transcript of the unique Bodleian first edition provided by James Orchard Halliwell. The collection features a diverse range of narratives, including romantic and tragic tales, reflecting the literary tastes of the Elizabethan era. Book images are non-contractual.
