some of chaucer's canterbury tales are based on boccaccio's works. for example, chaucer's first of these tales, "the knight's tale," is a condensed version of boccaccio's "teseida". chaucer tightens the structure of boccaccio's "teseida," changes some scenes in the general plot, and deepens the philosophy of the original. in "the knight's tale", arcite calls himself "philostrate", an allusion to the title of boccaccio's "filostrato". chaucer thereby alludes to the fact that "filostrato" and "teseida" are from the same author – boccaccio.
