{"product_id":"9781531271510","title":"La Fiammetta","description":"Giovanni Boccaccio   (1313 – 21 December 1375) was an Italian writer, poet, correspondent of   Petrarch, and an important Renaissance humanist. Boccaccio wrote a number of   notable works, including The Decameron and On Famous Women. He wrote in the   Italian vernacular and is particularly noted for his realistic dialogue which   differed from that of his contemporaries, medieval writers who usually   followed formulaic models for character and plot. In 1360, Boccaccio began   work on De mulieribus claris, a book offering biographies of one hundred and   six famous women, that he completed in 1374. Of his later works, the   moralistic biographies gathered as De casibus virorum illustrium (1355–74)   and De mulieribus claris (1361–1375) were most significant. Other works include   a dictionary of geographical allusions in classical literature, De montibus,   silvis, fontibus, lacubus, fluminibus, stagnis seu paludibus, et de nominibus   maris liber. He gave a series of lectures on Dante at the Santo Stefano   church in 1373 and these resulted in his final major work, the detailed   Esposizioni sopra la Commedia di Dante. Boccaccio and Petrarch were also two   of the most educated people in early Renaissance in the field of archaeology.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Yurita Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47144686878960,"sku":"9781531271510","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781531271510_p0.jpg?v=1763742236","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781531271510","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
