DECAMERON - FAIRYTALES - EROTIC ART Illustration by Louis Chalon for the J. M. Rigg translation of Giovanni Boccaccio's The Decameron, 1903. Third Day: Tenth Story. The monk Rustico teaching the young girl Alibech how to pray in order to trick her - convincing her that the demon which constantly rises up before him will allow him peace only if it is allowed to return into her hell. Giovanni Boccaccio (1313-1375), probably born in Certaldo, in Val d'Elsa. His Decameron is a collection of one hundred stories, told by young men and women who were avoiding Florence during the Plague of 1348.

Many of the tales are erotic in nature, and many were adopted by Boccaccio, rather than being original.
