520 _a"A Probable Italian Source of Shakespeare's 'Julius Cæsar'" by Alexander Boecker is a scholarly monograph written in the early 20th century. The work examines the potential influences of Orlando Pescetti's Italian tragedy "Cesare" on Shakespeare's "Julius Cæsar," arguing that Pescetti’s play, largely overlooked by previous scholars, may contain significant parallels that suggest Shakespeare drew upon it. The book aims to investigate the similarities between the texts, particularly in character development, themes, and specific narrative elements. The opening of the text introduces Boecker's thesis that Pescetti’s "Cesare" is a probable source for Shakespeare's work. It highlights the need to reevaluate the historical and literary context of Pescetti’s play, first published in Verona in 1594, as it may provide insight into Shakespeare's creative process. The introduction sets out the scope of the study, which will include an analysis of characters, plot similarities, and the use of ancient sources, indicating that the discussion will cover various aspects of both works to support Boecker’s argument regarding Pescetti's influence on Shakespeare.
