And thus, your will still was that I should translate it, the Decameron, when I had the leisure to do so.

Seeing this and desiring throughout my life to do, if I can, even more than is possible to obey you, I began some time afterwards to translate one of the said stories, then two, then three, and finally to the number of ten or twelve, the best that I could choose, which I afterwards showed as much to people of the Tuscan nation as to people of ours, who all made me believe that the stories were, if not perfectly, at least very faithfully translated.

Chapter One.

The view from the terrace at Saint-Germain-en-Laye is immense and famous.

Paris lies spread before you in dusky vastness, domed and fortified, glittering here and there through her light vapors and girdled with her silver Seine.

Behind you is a park of stately symmetry, and behind that a forest where you may lounge through turfy avenues and light-checkered glades and quite forget that you are within half an hour of the boulevards.

He granted her for life the enjoyment of the duchies of Alençon and Berry, and the counties of Armagnac and Le Perche, and several other lordships.

Finally, the marriage was celebrated on January 24, 1527, at Saint-Germain-en-Laye, where, as Sauval records, there were jousts, tourneying, and great triumph for the space of eight days or thereabouts.

End of section 2 The Heptameron of the Tales of Margaret, Queen of Navarre, Volume 1, by Margaret of Navarre.

Translated by George Saintsbury.

While the author describes himself as Master Antoine Limassol, consular of the king, receiver-general of his finances in Burgundy, and very humble secretary to this queen, he then proceeds to say, You remember my lady? the time when you made a stay of four or five months in paris during which you commanded me saying that i had freshly arrived from florence where i had sojourned during an entire year to read to you certain stories of the decameron of boccaccio after which it pleased you to command me to translate the whole book into our french language assuring me that it would be found beautiful and entertaining i then made you reply that i felt my powers were too weak to undertake such a work my principal and most reasonable excuse was the knowledge that i had of myself being a native of the land of where the maternal language is too far removed from good french however it did not please you to accept any of my excuses and you showed me that it was not fitting that the tuscans should be so mistaken as to believe that their boccaccio could not be rendered in our language as well as it is in theirs ours having become so rich and so copious since the accession of the king your brother to the crown that nothing has ever been written in any language that could not be expressed in this and thus your will still was that i should translate it the decameron when i had the leisure to do so saying this and desiring throughout my life to do if i can even more than is possible to obey you i began some time afterwards to translate one of the said stories then two then three and finally to the number of ten or twelve the best that i could choose which i afterwards showed as much to people of the discarnation as to people of ours who all made me believe that the stories were if not perfectly at least very faithfully translated wherefore allowing myself to be thus pleasantly deceived If deceit there was, I have since said myself to begin the translation at one end and to finish it at the other.

This dedicatory purpose is followed by an epistle written in Italian by Emilio Ferretti and dated from Lyon, May 1, 1545, and by a notice to the reader signed by Etienne Rosette.

The bookseller, who in the king's license dated from Saint-Germain-en-Laye, November 2, 1544, is described as Rosset called the mover bookseller residing in Paris on the bridge of Saint-Michel at the sign of the white rose.

The first edition of Limassol's translation 1545 was in folio, the subsequent ones of 1548, 1551, 1533 being in octavo.

Besides the queen's four Marys, the vessels also brought to France three of her natural brothers, among whom was the Prior of St. Andrew's, James Stuart, who was later to abjure the Catholic faith, and with the title of Regent, and under the name of the Earl of Murray, to become so fatal to poor Mary.

From Brest, Mary went to Saint-Germain-en-Laye, where Henry II, who had just ascended the throne, overwhelmed her with caresses, and then sent her to a convent where the heiresses of the noblest French houses were brought up.

There Mary's happy qualities developed.

Born with a woman's heart and a man's head, Mary not only acquired all the accomplishments which constituted the education of a future queen, but also that real knowledge which is the object of the truly learned.
