We have divided the volume into three sections: Literary Contexts Historical Contexts and Boccaccio and the Roles of Women and conclude the volume with an epilogue on paleopathology applied to Boccaccio’s novelle and his own death. The authors presented their initial ideas, as the sub-title notes, at the ABA triennial meeting in the fall of 2016 and then revised their papers for this volume. In addition, scholars review carefully the events of his day and his contemporaries, and trace out the ways that his influence has touched writers of our time. While the Decameron is highlighted, readers will find commentary also on the Fiammetta, Filostrato, Corbaccio, De casibus, and other works, including his efforts as a copyist and creator of literary canons. These thirteen contributions, presented by scholars at different stages of their careers, provide insights into his vernacular and Latin writings. The region's major cities include Cesena, Faenza, Forlì, Imola, Ravenna, Rimini and City of San Marino (San Marino is a landlocked state inside the Romagna historical region).The essays in this volume offer a wide range of new perspectives on Boccaccio’s work, its historical time and place, and its legacy.
