# Il Corbaccio issues a misogynist invective under Boccaccio’s name, a different book from De mulieribus

Date: 1365

## The fact

Britannica names Il Corbaccio as a distinct work in the oeuvre. Decameron Web independently keeps the life-and-works sequence in which later moralising and invective sit beside the Decameron.

It is one event.

## Context

A public misogynist dream-invective is a rights-harm heading. It does not cancel De mulieribus; mixed books stay split. Do not use it to rebate 1353.

[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.

Britannica lists Il Corbaccio among the works. Conventional dating sits in the 1360s. This is not the Decameron and not De mulieribus. Later readers’ disgust or defence is reception.

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 Decameron Web — Boccaccio’s life independently describe this instrument.

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

## Significance

Corbaccio is a rights-harm path of high confidence on the work’s existence and tone as received, low on unique later coefficients.

## 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.

The driver `protection-of-minority-rights` is attached because the mechanism named in Significance follows from this instrument, not because a standing list of welfare headings needed another tick. 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 merge Corbaccio with Decameron Day Six. One invective, one 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.
