A book on tales narrated in first person, most of them tend to be humorous, yet some are moral teachings and yet some are narration of miracles as described by others. Most jokes are sex related, and if the tales are to be taken at face value (most of them reflect well the values back then) people in the fifteenth century treated sex and rape very lightly, and the church representatives were highly immoral.
