Hot tip: Boccaccio was just one of several similar writers, perhaps the best, but if you really love his stuff, be sure to check out Masuccio. A similar organization to his book, a collection of bawdy tales, but with a little more meat to them. (Link to a book *about* Masuccio at Amazon. Gives a good description of his 'Novellina'.) posted by kablam at 6:58 PM on May 19, 2004
This site helped me immeasurably during my last year at University. Excellent resource, and an eye-opener to the fact that filthy stories are ages old. posted by Monster_Zero at 9:19 PM on May 19, 2004
