Book Description
Published in 1984: These texts which have been little studied for their literary qualities represent a vital link between the didactic tradition of the Middle Ages and the fictional short stories of the Renaissance, such as the thirteenth-century collection of tales known as the Novellino, and later, Boccaccio's Decameron.
