Il Pecorone
Il Pecorone was an Italian novela written between 1378 and 1385 by Giovanni Fiorentino.
It was written in a style influenced by the Decameron of Giovanni Boccaccio, the Golden Legend collection of saint lives, the Seven Sages of Rome or the Gemma ecclesiastica of Giraldus Cambrensis. For its historical facts, however, it relies on the Nuova Cronica of Giovanni Villani.
It is said to be an influence on Shakespeare's Merchant of Venice.[1]
