The Decameron (From the Greek: Î´Î­ÎºÎ± - ten & Î¼Î­ÏÎ± - day) (Italian: Decameron [deËkaËmeron] or Decamerone [dekameËroËne]), subtitled Prince Galehaut (Old Italian: Prencipe Galeotto [ËprentÊipe É¡aleËÉtto]), is a collection of novellas by the 14th-century Italian author Giovanni Boccaccio (1313â1375).
Boccaccio began work on The Decameron around 1349. It is probable that the structures of many of the tales date from earlier in his career, but the choice of a hundred tales and the frame-story lieta brigata of three men and seven women dates from this time. The work was largely complete by 1352.
