# De mulieribus claris compiles Latin lives of famous women, dedicated in the received file toward Giovanna of Naples

Date: 1362

## The fact

Britannica records De claris mulieribus as a major Latin work. Decameron Web independently places the biographies of famous women in the 1360s file.

It is one event.

## Context

A book of women’s lives can be a rights-access heading and can be a moralising gallery. Corbaccio is a different, hostile work.

[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 De claris mulieribus among the mature works. Conventional start around 1361–62 with revision into the 1370s. Mixed moralising and example-literature is the limit: this is not a modern rights statute. Giovanna I appears as a dedicatee-neighbour, not as co-author.

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

De mulieribus is a minority-rights path of medium confidence on unique later coefficients, high that such a Latin collection exists under his name.

## 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 split one hundred-plus lives into extra Facts. Do not treat Giovanna as the author. 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.
