Does anyone know of an available English translation of Boccaccio's story of Troilus and Cressida (Filostrato)? I'd like to do a comparison of the Shakespeare, Chaucer and Boccaccio versions.

Yes, there is a version translated by Griffin and Myrick published in 1998. It is available through Amazon in paperback:

http://www.amazon.com/Filostrato-Giovanni-Boccaccio/dp/081960187X/ref=sr_1_31?ie...

I've also had a look at project gutenberg, but there's nothing there.

Thank you TineOliver. I don't know why this book did not show up when I did my earlier searches on Amazon. It looks like the Norton Critical edition also includes a translation of Boccaccio's Filostrato as well as Chaucer's.

Unfortunately Amazon tends to be a bit of a temperamental beast, fore example, search for "Filostrato" and it probably returns nothing, but "Boccaccio" returns what you're looking for (if you search through all the Decameron entries anyway).
