Description
Excerpt from Tales From Sacchetti
In one respect, Sacchetti''s work has a greater importance for us to-day than it had for the critics of earlier times. In all historical studies nowadays the tendency is to look for details, to investigate the lives of the individuals who made up the-great mass of the people, and therefore the personages immortalized in such works as Sacchetti''s are really more interesting than are the well-known heroes of history or politics. He has left us a faithful picture of ''the Italian, especially the Tuscan, more especially the Florentine Trecento, its daily life, its manners and customs, its dress, superstitions, and beliefs, even preserving its peculiarities of speech.
