THE
DECAMERON
Preface
Day 1
Introduction
1. Ser Cepparello deceives a holy friar with a false confession and dies, and although he was one of the worst of men during his life, he is reputed after his death to be a saint and is called Saint Ciappelletto.
2. Abraham the Jew, urged on by Giannotto di Civignì, goes to the court of Rome, and after having seen the wickedness of the clergy, returns to Paris and becomes a Christian.
3. Melchisedech the Jew uses a story about three rings to avoid a very dangerous trap set for him by Saladin.

6. By means of a fine quip a worthy man confounds the wicked hypocrisy of the religious.
7. With a story about Primasso and the Abbot of Cluny, Bergamino justly rebukes Messer Can della Scala for an unexpected fit of avarice.

3. Three young men squander their wealth and are reduced to poverty. Later, a nephew of theirs, returning home in despair, falls in with an Abbot who he discovers is really the daughter of the King of England. After she takes him as her husband, she makes up what his uncles lost and restores all of them to their proper social station.
4. Landolfo Rufolo is impoverished, becomes a pirate, and is shipwrecked after being captured by the Genoese. He escapes, however, on a chest filled with very precious jewels, is cared for by a ............
