A collection of tales by the Italian writer
Boccaccio, brought together 1348-53. Ten
young people, fleeing plague-stricken
Florence, amuse their fellow travellers by
each telling a story on the ten days they
spend together. The work had a great
influence on English literature, particularly
Chaucer's Canterbury Tales.
