It is true that we have that mysterious and savage satire the Corbaccw, begun immediately after the Decameron was finished, that is to say, about 1353 ; but the passion which had given him expression, inspired everything he had done and made him a great creative artist has there turned sour sneers, as it were, at itself, and we get that wild invective, laughable in its wildness and unmeasured malice, against Woman which characterizes it. It was written he said to open the eyes of the young to t...he horror of woman. From this time he was more than forty years old he ceases to be a creative artist. Fiammetta is dead, and what henceforth fills his life is friendship friendship for Petrarch, which with all its comfort left him still with that vain shadow, that emptiness in his heart 'The grief which I have borne since she is dead. ' But before he gave himself wholly to his friend he turned for con- solation to the study of his great predecessor Dante. As soon as the Corbaccw is finished we find him at work on the Vita di Dante, the earliest life of the poet, and it is coloured with his misery.
