	Giovanni Battista Giraldi - LoveToKnow 1911 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		GIOVANNI BATTISTA GIRALDI (1 5 0 41 573), surnamed CYNTHIUS, CINTHIO or CINTIO, Italian novelist and poet, born at Ferrara in November 1504, was educated at the university of his native town, where in 1525 he became professor of natural philosophy, and, twelve years afterwards, succeeded Celio Calcagnini in the chair of belles-lettres.
		Subsequently, on the invitation of the senate of Milan, he occupied the chair of rhetoric at Pavia till 1573, when, in search of health, he returned to his native town, where on the 30th of December he died.
		Of the prose works of Giraldi the most important is the Hecatommithi or Ecatomiti, a collection of tales told somewhat after the manner of Boccaccio, but still more closely resembling the novels of Giraldi's contemporary Bandello, only much inferior in workmanship to the productions of either author in vigour, liveliness and local colour.

	Giglio Gregorio Giraldi - LoveToKnow 1911 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		GIGLIO GREGORIO GIRALDI [LILIUS GREGORIUS Gyral Dus] (1479-1552), Italian scholar and poet, was born on the 14th of June 1479, at Ferrara, where he early distinguished himself by his talents and acquirements.
		Giraldi was a man of very extensive erudition; and numerous testimonies to his profundity and accuracy have been given both by contemporary and by later scholars.
		His Historia de diis gentium marked a distinctly forward step in the systematic study of classical mythology; and by his treatises De annis et mensibus, and on the Calendarium Romanum et Graecum, he contributed to bring about the reform of the calendar, which was ultimately effected by Pope Gregory XIII.

	Giovanni Battista Giraldi
		Even more than for the "Orbecche", a rather gory piece, Giraldi is remembered for his collection of tales, the "Ecatommiti" (Hecatommithi).
		In this he feigns, therein imitating the framework of Boccaccio's "Decameron", that a company of men and women, fleeing from the sack of Rome in 1527, take ship at Civitavecchia for Marseilles, and beguile the tedium of the journey by reciting a hundred tales, divided into ten decades.
		It is worthy of note that the seventh tale of the third decade tells the story of the Moor of Venice, later used in Shakespeare's "Othello".

	Giovanni Battista Giraldi (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		'''Giovanni Battista Giraldi''' (November, 1504 - December 30, 1573), surnamed Cynthitus, Cinthio or Cintio, was an Italian novelist and poet.
		Of the prose works of Giraldi, the most important is the Hecatommithi or Ecatomiti, a collection of tales told somewhat after the manner of Boccaccio, but still more closely resembling the novels of Giraldi's contemporary, Matteo Bandello.
		That of the latter, which is to be found in the Hecatommithi is conjectured to have reached Shakespeare through the French translation; while that of the former is probably to be traced to George Whetstones Promos and Cassandra (1578), an adaptation of Cinthios story, and to his Heptamerone (1582), which contains a direct English translation.

		Shakespeare's information on the Venetian-Turkish conflict probably derives from The History of the Turks by Richard Knolles, which was published in England in the autumn of 1603.
		The story of Othello is also derived from another source—an Italian prose tale written in 1565 by Giovanni Battista Giraldi Cinzio (usually referred to as Cinthio).
		The original story contains the bare bones of Shakespeare's plot: a Moorish general is deceived by his ensign into believing his wife is unfaithful.

	Othello
		Shakespeare's major source for Othello was a novella from Giovanni Battista Giraldi (surnamed Cinthio)'s Gli Hecatommithi, published in Venice in 1565.
		No English version was available though some think Shakespeare may have read a translation in French by Gabriel Chappuys which was published in Paris in 1584.
		For Othello's noble speech against the charge of having bewitched Desdemona, Shakespeare is thought to have drawn upon Pliny's Natural History, translated into English by Philemon Holland and published in 1601.

		A noi il Giraldi non prova nulla; più fiduciosi in un passo dei _Ragionamenti_ dell'Aretino che rivelano come l'anno 1519 la Giulia ferrarese partisse da Roma per Siena con la sua _picciola figliuola_, siamo stimolati a credere essere la Tullia nata sullo scorcio del primo decennio del decimosesto secolo.

	Measure for Measure Summary & Essays - William Shakespeare
		The first recorded performance of Measure for Measure was on December 26, 1604, when a play entitled "Mesur for Mesur" by "Shaxberd" was performed at Whitehall before King James I and his court by "his Maiesties players," the troupe with which Shakespeare was associated from early 1603 until his retirement.
		Two works have traditionally been regarded as the primary sources of Measure for Measure: a novella in a collection of tales entitled Hecatommithi (1565) by Giovanni Battista Giraldi (known as Cinthio) and George Whetstone's two-part play, The Right Excellent and Famous Historye of Promos and Cassandra (1578), which was based on Cinthio's novella.
		However, several critics have noticed significant parallels between Measure for Measure and Epitia (1583), a drama adapted by Cinthio from his novella.

		After an apprenticeship in Pisa with his cousin, the painter Giacomo Perri, he continued his artistic training in Florence under Pietro Dandini and Anton Domenico Gabbiani.
		He completed his education with Giovanni Camillo Sagrestani and became one of that painter’s most talented followers, collaborating closely with him in the execution of numerous fresco works.
		His style, which is characterized by an extreme dissolution of forms in whirling compositions, seems to have been based mainly on that of Sagrestani; at the same time it has something of the airiness of Luca Giordano and the threadlike, evanescent figures of Alessandro Gherardini.

		Shakespearean magic, one presumes, combined with some judicious, old-fashioned plagiarism.
		Shakespeare lifted (clean and jerk) Othello’s plot from Italian poet, Giovanni Battista Giraldi’s (1504-73) collection of tales, Hecatommithi, first published in Sicily in 1565.
		The plot is simple enough: Othello is a great warrior, a Moor (interpreted variously as either an Arab or a fl), who is married to the fair Desdemona.
