Description

This antique book, titled "The Decameron of Boccaccio Illustrated," was published in the United States in 1901 by The Bibliophilist Society. The book has special attributes as it is illustrated and is an original copy. The book is in very good condition for age, with only minor wear, and has not been modified. It is a great addition to any collection for a book lover or history buff. Over 120 years old! The many tales that depict explicit sexual situations and satirize the Church became the subject of much controversy, and they were indeed the same that were ultimately censored. The Decameron was banned and burned in 15th century Florence by Savanarola, and was prohibited by the Catholic Church in 1559. It has also been banned by many countries in the 20th century. The ban was lifted in the United States in 1931.
