AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
1st cassette: Boccaccio, Decamerone. A richly illustrated book from the luxurious “Golden Edition” of the Athenaem publishing house.
The edition contains one hundred colorful Flemish miniatures as illustrations, a reading ribbon and an afterword with notes by R. van Stipriaan.
Decamerone describes how ten young people flee the plague in Florence and, in the countryside, tell a hundred stories about love, cunning, wit and human frailties — a frame narrative full of humor and realism in an edition that is an addition for collectors.
2nd cassette: Francesca Colonna, The Dream of Poliphilus, richly illustrated from the same “Golden Edition” of the Athenaem publishing house; an iconic Renaissance work from 1499, published by Aldus Manutius in Venice.
The luxurious edition from Athenaem-Polak & Van Gennep consists of 2 bound parts with cloth covers in a case, total about 640 pages, format 25x17.
The story follows Poliphilus’ allegorical dream-journey in search of his beloved Polia through a mythical world filled with ancient architecture, gardens, erotica and pagan rites — a celebratory ode to love, beauty and humanist ideals.
