Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Subjunctive in the Decameron: Primary and Concessive Clauses
The present subjunctive is used, as in Latin, to express a wish which is considvvered practicable. The pure Optative form of wish does not occur with this tense. We have, on the other hand, a considerable variety of derived forms of expression. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
