Specialist Notes
Rare Parisian edition of Corbaccio, edited by Jacopo Corbinelli, supplemented by annotations taken from ancient codices. The author imagines he has a dream vision, in which he gets lost in a valley with a sinister and hostile aspect: "This place is variously called; and everyone calls it well: some call it 'the labyrinth of love', others' the enchanted valley ', and very much' the sty of Venus', and many 'the valley of' sighs and misery '.
