# Genealogia deorum gentilium is issued as a Latin mythographic encyclopedia, first edition about 1360, revised until late life Date: 1360 ## The fact Britannica records Genealogia among Boccaccio’s scholarly Latin treatises. The humanism article independently treats his classical-myth compilation as a 14th-century reference machine. It is one event. ## Context A Latin myth encyclopedia is a knowledge path for clerks and poets. Greek display via Pilato is neighbouring. Gibbon’s later sneer is reception. [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 genealogia deorum gentilium among the mature Latin works. First edition conventionally 1360; revisions continue toward 1374. Later printed genealogies are evidence. One encyclopedia, 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 — humanism, 14th century independently describe this instrument. Official or archival record: Britannica — Giovanni Boccaccio (https://www.britannica.com/biography/Giovanni-Boccaccio; Encyclopaedia Britannica). ## Significance Genealogia is a knowledge-access path of high confidence on the work, medium on 1360 as a precise first-issue year. ## 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 convert every god into a Fact. Later revisions are the same instrument’s life, not extra rows. 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. ## People - Giovanni Boccaccio: https://factrail.ai/people/giovanni-boccaccio ## Sources - https://www.britannica.com/topic/humanism/The-14th-century - https://www.britannica.com/biography/Giovanni-Boccaccio ## Methodology https://factrail.ai/methodology Canonical: https://factrail.ai/facts/boc-genealogia-deorum
