Boccaccios Griselda und Hiob
- Published
- Romanistisches Jahrbuch 42 (1991): 136-49.
- Description
- A detailed comparison of the Job story and Boccaccio's Decameron 10.10. Boccaccio's novella is seen as a variation of the biblical Job story that lacks the justification of God's divine attributes. Schöpflin argues that Boccaccio and subsequent authors such as Petrarch and Chaucer modeled their versions of the Griselda story on this interpretation of Job.
