500 |a "The following edition is based on the long out-of-print 1965 translation by Lewis B. Hall. We have reprinted Hall's selective edition, including his few contextual notes. To these we have added numerous historical, biographical, interpretive and bibliographical notes based on the research findings of the past generation of Boccaccio scholarship"--Preface to the second edition. 
500 |a "For this translation of The Fates of Illustrious Men the Paris edition of Jean Gourmont and Jean Petit (1520) has been utilized, because it is a good representation of Boccaccio's first edition and because it is now generally available in a facsimile edition. In a few places the Gourmont-Petit edition has been corrected on the basis of its apparent source, Manuscript Latin 069M of the Bibliotheque Nationale, Paris"--Louis Brewer Hall, Introduction, revised 2018.
