Decameron Critical Essays

The bolded translation is the one we recommend, but you can feel free to read whichever you like. Mc William [Revised edition]: The comprehensive Decameron.For references sake, I own, and am able to compare and provide text from, the following editions: J. Nichols: Sparsely annotated, otherwise unabridged, 2009.

Rebhorn: Annotations a bit longer than Mc William, which also tend to touch on different topics, and a fairly long introduction, though of course nowhere near as enormous as Mc William's, 2013.
