| Abstract: | Giovanni Boccaccio, author of the Decameron, built a library for himself with books some of which he himself copied or had written. In his will he left them to Fra Martino de Signa, who after his death these books were passed on to the library of the same Friars of the Augustinian Convent of Santo Spirito in Florence. Among these dispersed manuscripts there was a codex which did not belong to Boccaccio. It is a unique codex dating to the early fifteenth century entitled De insulis et earum proprietatibus by Florentine Domenico Silvestri. In this codex, a description of the islands of Gozo and Malta have been observed. |
