Incunabula printed in Zaragoza, in the prestigious printing house of Pablo Hurus, the 24th October 1494, illustrated with beautiful engravings which represented a society scene.

De claris mulieribus is, along with the Decameron and Corbaccio, one of the finest works of the immortal master of European humanism, Giovanni Boccaccio.

International social justice movements and the debates that ensued prompted us to start considering the contents of our website from a critical point of view. This has led us to acknowledge that most of the texts in our database are Western-centered. We have asked the authors of our content to be aware of the underlying racial and cultural bias in many scholarly sources, and to try to keep in mind multiple points of view while describing the manuscripts. We also recognize that this is yet a small, first step towards fighting inequality.

If you notice any trace of racist or unjust narratives in our communications, please help us be part of the change by letting us know.
