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).
By invoking the name Prencipe Galeotto in the alternative title to Decameron, Boccaccio alludes to a sentiment he expresses in the text: his compassion for women deprived of free speech and social liberty, confined to their homes and, at times, lovesick.occaccio probably conceived the Decameron after the epidemic of 1348, and completed it by 1353. The various tales of love in The Decameron range from the erotic to the tragic. Tales of wit, practical jokes, and life lessons contribute to the mosaic.
