Minor damage to cut, very small loss at head, one corner worn. Rare edition published in Florence in 1743 by Abbé Andrea Bonducci, of these short stories written in imitation of Boccaccio, and containing comic and curious pictures of 16th-century Florentine manners. Grazzini (1503-1584), known as Le Lasca, was one of the founders of the Accademia degli Umidi and later the Accademia della Crusca in Florence around 1540. He wrote numerous works, including poems, burlesque poems, carnival songs and comedies. From 1542, he published his works under the pseudonym "Il Lasca" (the roach) or "Leuciscus". John Bouverie (c. 1723 - September 19, 1750) was a British antiques dealer and art collector, responsible for a collection of drawings known today as the "Bouverie Collection", which passed to his sister Elizabeth, without issue, then to Sir Charles Middleton, and finally to Middleton's son-in-law, Sir Gerald Noel, father of the first Earl of Gainsborough. Bouverie died in Guzel Hissar on September 19, 1750, while traveling in the Ottoman Empire and observing ancient remains in the company of Robert Wood and James Dawkins. Minor foxing. A fine copy.
