1955 The Modern Library (Random House), New York Edition

What a true first shows: First in this translation (Winwar): Limited Editions Club, New York, 1930; the Decameron itself far predates; this is the Modern Library reprint copyrighted 1955.

Photographs show the exact copy you will receive. Every flaw we found is listed above; if we missed one, the return is on us.
