Publisher's Synopsis

This is a critical edition of the sixteenth-century translation into English of the Latin novella, the Historia de Duobus Amantibus, by Aeneas Silvius Piccolomini. This edition, which was previously only accessible in an old and rare diplomatic reprint, demonstrates clearly the full impact of Italian Renaissance learning on English prose fiction.
