"OCULAR PROOF"

The plot of Othello is borrowed from Hecatommithi by Giovan Battista Giraldi Cinthio, an italian author from ferrara who published this collection of novellas in 1565 organised according to the model of Boccaccio’s 'Decameron'.
There was no English language version of the 'Hecatommithi' in Shakespeare’s time.
Several verbal parallels exist between 'Othello' and Shakespeare's Italian source wich reinforce the conclusion that Shakespeare could read Italian.
