This Baroque bookmark design comes from a 1725 binding of The Decameron of Giovanni Boccaccio. Boccaccio was an Italian writer and poet who helped lay the foundations of Renaissance humanism. With its scope from humour to tragedy and its vivid narrative structure, The Decameron remains an affirmation of humanity and moral values even when read today.
