Tacitus
The Decameron, written by Giovanni Boccaccio in the 14th century, is significant to historians as it offers a vivid portrayal of life during the Black Death and the societal changes that followed. Its collection of stories reflects the cultural, social, and economic realities of medieval Europe, providing insight into human behavior, morality, and the complexities of love and relationships in times of crisis. Additionally, the work is considered a precursor to modern storytelling and literature, influencing subsequent writers and the development of narrative forms.
