The Pecorone Of Ser Giovanni; Volume 2

By Giovanni (Fiorentino)

The Pecorone, by Giovanni Fiorentino, is a collection of fifty short stories, presented as a series of conversations between a knight and a monk. Written in the 14th century, these tales draw from a rich tapestry of sources, including folklore, history, and legend, offering a fascinating glimpse into the social customs and moral values of Renaissance Italy. This volume contains the second half of the work.

Giovanni's storytelling is characterized by its lively pace and engaging characters, making The Pecorone an enduring example of early Italian prose. The narratives often explore themes of love, deception, and fortune, providing both entertainment and insightful commentary on human nature. This edition allows modern readers to rediscover a classic work that has influenced literature for centuries.
