Masuccio's collection of fifty satirical "novelle" or short stories, written in the style of Boccaccio's Decameron, in which the author attacks various types of morally reprehensible characters, such as clergymen, jealous men, and the female sex in general. Each story begins with a letter of dedication to a famous person ("Argomento"), followed by a preamble ("Essordio") and the text of the story ("Narratione"), and concludes with an epilogue containing the "moral" of the story ("Massuccio").
