John Payne

    John Payne was an English poet and translator, celebrated for his significant contributions to English literature through his translations of classic works such as The Decameron, The Arabian Nights, and the Diwan of Hafez. His involvement with limited edition publishing and the Villon Society highlights his dedication to the craft of bookmaking and literary dissemination. Payne's profound admiration for world literature is evident in his assertion that Hafez, Dante, and Shakespeare stood as the three greatest poets in history.
