Note 211 — Chapter IV
Reading edition
Della Torre seems to have proved that Boccaccio left Naples in December, 1340, and was in Florence early in the new year, 1341. For the most part he is in agreement with Crescini and Landau. Cf. Crescini, op. cit., p. 86 et seq., and Landau, op. cit., 70 and 40 (Italian edition) also pp. 181-2. Koerting, op. cit., p. 164, says 1339 or 1340.
