| - | Of course, Dioneo narrates what is by far the most obscene and bawdy tale in the ''Decameron''. Because of its graphic nature, this tale has at times been translated incompletely, as in [[John Payne (poet)|John Payne]]'s translation, where Alibech's sexual awakening is left untranslated and is accompanied with this footnote: "The translators regret that the disuse into which magic has fallen, makes it impossible to render the technicalities of that mysterious art into tolerable English; they have therefore found it necessary to insert several passages in the original Italian." No known earlier versions of it exist. | ||
