I would like to read both Boccacio's and Chaucer's versions of the Griseldis-Story with you. Boccaccio offered this story as the last novel of the last (the tenth) day. You can read two different English versions (a 17th and a 20t-century one) at:

the modern English version offered here is also available at Gutenberg:

I have no objections against the German version as offered by Insel-Verlag and will leave a copy of that by tomorrow at Wersig's copy shop. Chaucer's version is offered with the Clerk's tale. --Olaf Simons 17:34, 8 May 2007 (CEST)
