ABSTRACT

Here begins the sixth part of the “Filostrato” min which first of all Criseida, while at her father’s, grieves at being far from Troilo. Diomede comes to her, talks, disparages Troy and the Trojans and then discloses his love to her, to whom she replies and leaves him in doubt if he pleases her or not and, otherwise grown lukewarm toward Troilo, she begins to forget him. And to begin with, Criseida, weeping, sorrows at being far from Troilo.
