Hardcover. Condizione: Near Fine. 1st Edition. 1572 1st ed Novellino Carlo Gualteruzzi Italian Tales Sexuality VULGAR Proverbs "There once was a doctor named Giordano, who had a disciple. The son of a king fell ill. This teacher went to him and realized that he could cure him. The disciple, in order to steal all the prestige from his master, said to the father, "I can see that your son will surely die." And, disagreeing with his teacher, and acting as one of great learning, he opened the sick man's mouth and, using his little finger, deposited some poison on the man's tongue. The man died. The teacher went away and lost all of his prestige, which was gained by his disciple. From that moment on the teacher swore that he would only attend to.dumb animals" (Gualteruzzi, Novella XI) The 'Princeps' or 'Novellino' by Carlo Gualteruzzi is a 16th-century collection of ancient tales. Joseph Consoli, a Gualteruzzi expert, says "The principal innovative aspect of 'The Novellino' is its inclusion of everyday people in the ranks of its protagonists." This collection is important in that before this work, "representatives from the non-privileged classes were invisible to the literary world." (Consoli, xix) This setting of poems and stories includes tales of human emotions, particularly of love and sexuality, deceitfulness, and selfishness. Gualteruzzi depicts women 'as silly and stupid creatures' in a number of his tales. According to Consoli, "The representation of women in "The Novellino" cannot be considered constructivethis attitude towards women reaches its outrageous zenith with the raucous, rude hysterics of a group of knights at the hatefully vulgar description of the scent of a woman."
