The Decameron, also called Prince Galehaut, is a 14th-century medieval allegory by Giovanni Boccaccio, told as a frame story encompassing 100 tales by ten young people. The book's primary title exemplifies Boccaccio's fondness for Greek philology: Decameron combines two Greek words, Greek: déka ("ten") and (Greek: h¿méra ("day"), to form a term that means "ten-day event". Ten days is the time period in which the characters of the frame story tell their tales.

Autorenporträt
Giovanni Boccaccio (16 June 1313 - 21 December 1375) was an Italian writer, poet, correspondent of Petrarch, and an important Renaissance humanist. Boccaccio wrote several notable works, including The Decameron and On Famous Women. He wrote his most imaginative literature in Tuscan vernacular, as well as a few in Latin. Boccaaccio is particularly noted for his realistic dialogue which differed from that of his contemporaries, who usually followed formulaic models for character and plot.
