Specialist Notes

Rare edition of Boccaccio's Fiammetta, printed by Paganini with a character imitating the italics of Manutius, of which he was a great admirer. La Fiammetta is considered by many to be the first psychological novel in the vernacular and a forerunner of the stream of consciousness technique.
