The narratives are systematized: satiricals first, then adventurous ones with picaresque but generally attractive characters, and final novels about human nobility, where the characters are clearly idealized. Boccaccio drew plots from various sources: ancient legends, medieval retellings, courteous novels, urban fabliaux, but more often - contemporary writer's anecdotes and real cases of life. It is the notion of a low and high author of "Decameron" who interpreted from humanistic positions, so that the novels themselves and the way of their composition acquired a humanistic tendency. Boccaccio also became an innovator of this form, as he subordinated it to the law of the "Gothic vertical" (from low to high), appropriately placing novels. "A collection of short stories with a frame." Such a composition has already become a tradition in literature, it is enough to recall the eastern "One Thousand and One Nights", the Italian collection of the border of the XIII and XIV centuries "Novelino". The name of the book is of Greek origin, in translation - "tenth", i.e. The main work of Boccaccio " The Decameron" was conceived in 1348 and created in 1351-1353.
