About the author

Giovanni Boccaccio, geb. 1313 als unehelicher Sohn eines Kaufmanns und einer Französin in Florenz, absolvierte in Neapel Kaufmannslehre und Studium. 1349 kehrte er nach Florenz zurück. 1350 lernte er Petrarca kennen; die beiden Wegbereiter der Renaissancekultur blieben eng befreundet und führten bis zum Tode Petrarcas eine anregende Korrespondenz. Neben seiner schriftstellerischen Arbeit war Boccaccio Botschafter des stadtstaates Florenz und humanistischer Gelehrter. Er starb 1375 auf seinem Landgut in Certaldo (Toskana).
