(John Yonge) Pindar, Paul Tales of Humour, Gallantry & Romance, Selected and Translated from the Italian Compilation and translation variously attributed to Roscoe or Akerman. Produced by David Widger "Tales of Humour, Gallantry & Romance, Selected and Translated from the Italian" is a collection of Italian novellas likely compiled in the early 19th century. The anthology aims to present a curated selection of humorous and romantic stories, distilling insights into early Italian societal manners while providing entertaining narratives for the reader. Through its assortment of tales, the book promises a blend of wit, humor, and romance encompassing various characters and plotlines rooted in Italian culture. The opening of the book introduces readers to a tale titled "The Teacher Taught," focusing on the characters Bacciuolo and Pietro Paolo, two friends from the Savelli family who set out to study in Bologna. Bacciuolo, eager to learn the "noble science" of love, seeks guidance from a professor, who humorously instructs him to pursue a woman he finds attractive. Bacciuolo keenly follows the professor's advice, leading to a series of comical events that ensue when he attempts to woo the Lady Giovanna, ultimately resulting in an unintended confrontation with the professor, who discovers that the woman he loves is actually his own wife. This initial tale encapsulates the humorous and intricate dynamics of love, disguises, and social relations characteristic of the collection.
