# Bucolicum carmen issues Latin eclogues under Boccaccio’s name as received

Date: 1367

## The fact

Britannica lists Bucolicum carmen among Latin works. [Petrarch](/people/petrarch)’s page independently marks the bucolic humanist neighbourhood.

It is one event.

## Context

Latin pastoral is a knowledge path inside humanist imitation of Virgil. Political allegory inside poems is not split into extra Facts here.

[Giovanni Boccaccio](/people/giovanni-boccaccio)’s documented role is bounded by other offices and collaborators named in the sources below. Sharing a field with them is not a reason to drop a documented act, and it is not a reason to assign later consequences done in the name after death.

Latin eclogues neighbour Petrarch’s bucolic practice. Conventional dating spans the 1360s. One eclogue book, one Fact.

Named person as heading of the dated public instrument. Later editors, museums, printers, or offices share publication. Complex where later carriers are the surviving public file.

## Evidence and sources

Britannica — Giovanni Boccaccio and Britannica — Petrarch independently describe this instrument.

Official or archival record: Britannica — Giovanni Boccaccio (https://www.britannica.com/biography/Giovanni-Boccaccio; Encyclopaedia Britannica).

## Significance

## What is established and what is not

Established as a sourced public record of this instrument at the date assigned here.

What would change the picture: a contradictory original with a different date or name, or a measured series that can be argued, with lag and alternatives, as a consequence of this instrument rather than of later institutions.

The date is the date of this instrument, not a licence to back-date every later harm or benefit.

Established here: a sourced, dated public instrument with a named contribution by Giovanni Boccaccio.

They are not a public rating.

Giovanni Boccaccio did not file a later UNESCO form, a later Loeb colophon, or a later museum label as a personal act. A portrait or conventional bust is not this mechanism. Allegation, reconstruction, and established occurrence stay distinct. Do not split each eclogue into a Fact. Keep the carrier date of later English distinct from the received historical year stored in the date field. Do not read a later English edition as a recovered autograph of Giovanni Boccaccio.
