Abstract
- A literary criticism of the books "Decameron" by Giovanni Boccaccio and "The World at Play in Boccaccio's Decameron" by Professor Giuseppe Mazzotta is presented. Hagiography, epistemology, and the role of saints in the "Decameron" are explored. Boccaccio's portrayal of Ser Ciappelletto, playfulness, and pluralism in the "Decameron" are also discussed.
