Summary/Abstract: Sebastiano Erizzo's Six Days follows Decameron's model of fitting stories into a narrative framework that gives rise to storytelling, but differs from it by an all-male company of storytellers. The author calls his stories “examples”, emphasizing the lessons that the reader can learn from them for himself, and the fun and enjoyment of storytelling set aside. There is no laughter, no joy, and the characters and storytellers are similar in their reasoning aimed at encouraging virtue and integrity.
