My favorite tale concerns dear Alibech, a devil and hell.

For those who do not speak Italian, here is the full translation of the tenth tale of the third day.

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'.)

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.

Fantastic, and I've already swiped it for LH. Thanks, hama.
