Visualizing Boccaccio

Visualizing Boccaccio: Studies on Illustrations of The Decameron, from Giotto to Pasolini, by Jill M. Ricketts.

Because Boccaccio's writings are so multi-faceted, they have inspired hundreds of paintings over several centuries.  This book analyzes why that is so (although it does not, itself, contain the illustrations which are its subject).
