Boccaccio's Decamerone.
Reading edition
Your Correspondent W. B. M. ("Current Notes" for March last, p. 20), will find a curious account of the auction sale of the Boccaccio, in the third volume of Dibdin's Bibliographical Decameron, and a minute description of the precious volume itself in the Bibliotheca Spenceriana, Vol. iv. It is not however "unique." There was a copy in the Blenheim Collection, and another somewhat defective and "cruelly washt and cropt," in the Royal Library at Paris,
Yours truly, A Bookworm.
