Giovanni Boccaccion Decamerone on italialaisen keskiajan rakastetuimpia tekstejä, erotiikan ja huumorin klassikko, jonka viehätys ei vähene. 1350-luvulla kirjoitettu teos on käännetty suomeksi useaan otteeseen, ja sen on suomentanut myös varhaisen kirjallisuutemme ikiklassikko Joel Lehtonen. Hänen kääntämänsä valikoima ilmestyi vuonna 1914 Otavan julkaisemana. Lehtosen herkullinen suomennos ei ole pitkään aikaan ollut painettuna saatavilla. Helmivyön julkaisemassa laitoksessa on mukana kirjallisuudentutkija Werner Söderhjelmin alkuperäinen esipuhe sekä Juri Nummelinin lyhyt esittely, jossa käydään läpi muun muassa Decamerone-suomennosten historiaa.

Solone, il cui petto un umano tempio di divina sapienzia fu reputato, e le cui sacratissime leggi sono ancora alli presenti uomini chiara testimonianza dell'antica giustizia, era, secondo che dicono alcuni, spesse volte usato di dire ogni republica, sí come noi, andare e stare sopra due piedi; de' quali, con matura gravitá, affermava essere il destro il non lasciare alcun difetto commesso impunito, e il sinistro ogni ben fatto remunerare; aggiugnendo che, qualunque delle due cose giá dette per vizio o per nigligenzia si sottraeva, o meno che bene si servava, senza niun dubbio quella republica, che 'l faceva, convenire andare sciancata: e se per isciagura si peccasse in amendue, quasi cert...

Boccaccio

I therefore affirm it true, O most beautiful lady, that after by departing from the delightful city of Naples at the most charming season of the year and going hence to Sannio, you suddenly removed from mine eyes, more desirous of your angelic sight than of aught else, what I ought to have known by your presence but did not, that, by its contrary--that is, by the privation of it--I was given instant knowledge of. And this hath saddened my soul so far beyond any proper limit that I can clearly appreciate how great was the happiness.

Suole a' miseri crescere di dolersi vaghezza, quando di sé discernono o sentono compassione in alcuno. Adunque, acciò che in me, volonterosa più che altra a dolermi, di ciò per lunga usanza non menomi la cagione, ma s'avanzi, mi piace, o nobili donne, ne' cuori delle quali amore più che nel mio forse felicemente dimora, narrando i casi miei, di farvi, s'io posso, pietose. Né m'è cura perché il mio parlare agli uomini non pervenga, anzi, in quanto io posso, del tutto il niego loro, però che sì miseramente in me l'acerbità d'alcuno si discuopre, che gli altri simili imaginando, piuttosto schernevole riso che pietose lagrime ne vedrei. Voi sole, le quali io per me medesima conosco pieghevoli...

In the time of a devastating pandemic, seven women and three men withdraw to a country estate outside Florence to give themselves a diversion from the death around them. Once there, they decide to spend some time each day telling stories, each of the ten to tell one story each day. They do this for ten days, with a few other days of rest in between, resulting in the 100 stories of the Decameron.The Decameron was written after the Black Plague spread through Italy in 1348. Most of the tales did not originate with Boccaccio; some of them were centuries old already in his time, but Boccaccio imbued them all with his distinctive style. The stories run the gamut from tragedy to comedy, from lewd to inspiring, and sometimes all of those at once. They also provide a detailed picture of daily life in fourteenth-century Italy.

Humana cosa es tener compasión de los afligidos, y aunque a todos conviene sentirla, más propio es que la sientan aquellos que ya han tenido menester de consuelo y lo han encontrado en otros: entre los cuales, si hubo alguien de él necesitado o le fue querido o ya de él recibió el contento, me cuento yo. Porque desde mi primera juventud hasta este tiempo habiendo estado sobremanera inflamado por altísimo y oble amor. Tal vez, por yo narrarlo, bastante más de lo que parecería conveniente a mi baja condición aunque por los discretos a cuya noticia llegó fuese alabado y reputado en mucho, no menos me fue grandísima fatiga sufrirlo: ciertamente no por crueldad de la mujer amada sino por el excesivo fuego concebido en la mente por el poco dominado apetito, el cual porque con ningún razonable límite me dejaba estar contento, me hacía muchas veces sentir más dolor del que había necesidad. Y en aquella angustia tanto alivio me procuraron las afables razones de algún amigo y sus loables consuelos, que tengo la opinión firmísima de que por haberme sucedido así no estoy muerto. Pero cuando plugo a Aquél que, siendo infinito, dio por ley inconmovible a todas las cosas mundanas el tener fin, mi amor, más que cualquiera otro ardiente y al cual no había podido ni romper ni doblar ninguna fuerza de voluntad ni de consejo ni de vergüenza evidente ni ningún peligro que pudiera seguirse de ello, disminuyó con el tiempo, de tal guisa que sólo me ha dejado de sí mismo en la memoria aquel placer que acostumbra ofrecer a quien no se pone a navegar en sus más hondos piélagos, por lo que, habiendo desaparecido todos sus afanes, siento que ha permanecido deleitoso donde en mí solía doloroso estar.
