Description
A collection of stories meant to be read while dining and drinking, the Dinner Pieces, or Intercenales, are among Alberti’s most innovative works. They constitute an important monument in the history of comic writing and cover topics from politics to the arts to love. This edition presents a new translation and an authoritative Latin text.
