NotesDecameron, or Decamerone, subtitled Prencipe Galeotto (English: The Decameron, subtitled Prince Galehaut) and sometimes nicknamed Umana commedia (English: Human comedy), is a collection of novellas by the 14th-century Italian author Giovanni Boccaccio. Boccaccio probably conceived of The Decameron after the epidemic of 1348, and completed it by 1353.
