That of the latter, which is to be found in the Hecatommithi, was almost certainly read by Shakespeare in the original Italian ; while that of the former is probably to be traced to George Whetstone's Promos and Cassandra ( 1578 ), an adaptation of Cinthio's story, and to his Heptamerone ( 1582 ), which contains a direct English translation.

Cinthio's Moor is the model for Shakespeare's Othello, but some researchers believe the poet also took inspiration from the several Moorish delegations from Morocco to Elizabethan England circa 1600.

While the principal characters in Shakespeare's play have their counterparts in Cinthio's tale, Brabantio is Shakespeare's invention.

The character's source is traced to Giovanni Battista Giraldi Cinthio's tale " Un Capitano Moro " in Gli Hecatommithi ( 1565 ).

Othello has its source in the 1565 tale " Un Capitano Moro " from Giovanni Battista Giraldi Cinthio's Gli Hecatommithi, a collection of 100 tales in the vein of Boccacio's Decameron.

Othello is an adaptation of the Italian writer Cinthio's tale " Un Capitano Moro " (" A Moorish Captain ") from his Gli Hecatommithi ( 1565 ), a collection of one hundred tales in the style of Boccaccio's Decameron.

Cinthio's tale may have been based on an actual incident occurring in Venice about 1508.

While Shakespeare closely followed Cinthio's tale in composing Othello, he departed from it in some details.

Cinthio's " ensign's wife ", Emilia, survives her husband's death to tell her story.

Cinthio's tale has been described as a " partly racist warning " about the dangers of miscegenation.

The original is " The Story of Epitia ", a story from Cinthio's Hecatommithi, first published in 1565.

Whetstone adapted Cinthio's story by adding the comic elements and the bed and head tricks.

Cinthio's tale may have been based on an actual incident occurring in Venice about 1508.

While Shakespeare closely followed Cinthio's tale in composing Othello, he departed from it in some details.

In Cinthio's tale, for example, the ensign suffers an unrequited lust for the Moor's wife, Desdemona, which then drives his vengeance.

Desdemona dies in an entirely different manner in Cinthio's tale ; the Moor commissions his ensign to bludgeon her to death with a sand-filled stocking.

Among the prose works of Cinthio is the Hecatommithi or Ecatomiti, a collection of tales told somewhat after the manner of Boccaccio, but still more closely resembling the novels of Cinthio's contemporary, Matteo Bandello.

His first published work, the Rocke of Regards ( 1576 ), consisted of tales in prose and verse adapted from the Italian, and in 1578 he published The right, excellent and famous Historye of Promos and Cassandra, a play in two parts, drawn from the eighty-fifth novel of Giraldi Cinthio's Hecatomithi.

Cinthio's tale may have been based on an actual incident occurring in Venice about 1508.

The relatives of Cinthio's Disdemona avenge her death in the closing moments of his tale, but her father is not mentioned as being among them.
