In 1540 he was among the founders of the Accademia degli Umidi, which was soon renamed Accademia Fiorentina. He later took a leading role in the establishment of the more famous Accademia della Crusca, which published his Vocabulario of words accepted as the purest Italian. To both societies he was known as Il Lasca or Leuciscus, a pseudonym which is still frequently substituted for his name. Grazzini was temperamental, his life consequently enlivened or disturbed by various literary quarrels. II Lasca ranks as one of the great masters of Tuscan prose. David Herbert Lawrence (1885 - 1930) was an English novelist, short story writer, poet, playwright, literary critic, travel writer, essayist, and painter. His modernist works reflect on modernity, social alienation and industrialization, while championing sexuality, vitality and and instinct. Four of his most famous novels - Sons and Lovers (1913), The Rainbow (1915), Women in Love (1920), and Lady Chatterley's Lover (1928) - were the subject of censorship trials for their radical portrayals of romance, sexuality and use of explicit language. During his final years, Lawrence renewed his serious interest in oil painting. Official harassment persisted; an exhibition of his paintings at the Warren Gallery in London was raided by the police in mid-1929, and several works were confiscated. Numbered 428.

Overall, a sturdy copy, very fresh internally. This story from Italian Renaissance writer A. F. Grazzini's Le Cene (The Suppers) is, according to D. H. Lawrence, "a magnificent account of what is perhaps the best Florentine beffa (prank) on record." Le Cene is a collection of short stories written in the bawdy style of Boccaccio. Grazzini's literary works "reflect his disenchanted, self-seeking age and exhibit the lustiness and vicious sting of his writings and the love he reveals for the ruthlessly cruel, whether in deeds of horror or pitiless jests" (Britannica). Notably, the publisher of The Story of Doctor Manente, Giuseppe Orioli, also published the unexpurgated edition of Lawrence's highly controversial novel, Lady Chatterley's Lover (1928). D. H. Lawrence's life and work were shaped considerably by Italian culture. He translated works by Italian author Giovanni Verga into English, including Mastro Don-Gesualdo and Cavalleria Rusticana and Other Stories, and wrote three travel books set in Italy: Twilight in Italy (1916), Sea and Sardinia (1921), Sketches of Etruscan Places (1932).
