In 1409 Laurent De Premierfait Produced A French Translation Of Giovanni Boccaccios De Casibus Virorum Illustrium, A Fourteenthcentury Text Containing Cautionary Historical Tales That Exemplify The Corrupting Effects Of Power. Richly Illustrated Copies Of The Translation, Known As Des Cas Des Nobles Hommes Et Femmes, Became Enormously Popular, Allowing For A Consideration Not Only Of How Boccaccios Latin Made Its Way Into Laurents French But Also How The Text Was Converted Into Visual Images.In Translating The Past, Art Historian Anne D. Hedeman Traces The History Of Laurents Work From The First Copies Made For The Dukes Of Berry And Burgundy To Manuscripts Independently Produced By Artists And Booksellers In Paris. In Certain Cases, Masterpieces Resulted, Such As The Copy Owned By The J. Paul Getty Museum, Which Was Painted Around 1415 By The Boucicaut Master Under King Charles Vii Of France.
