Novelette? More like a parable

[edit]

It is to be noted that Il Novellino is not a collection of novelettes: each story is about a page or less. La Damigella di Scalot counts no more than 324 words, including title and Roman numeral! It's more a parable than a short story. 01:08, 1 May 2020 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ignisāra (talkcontribs)

Indeed the story is so short and so difficult to find translated in English that it may be useful to offer the reader a literal word-by-word translation, including grammatical anomalies. Ignisāra (talk) 20:29, 18 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
