Edward Storer (1880-1944) was an English writer and poet. He translated Il Novellino from the Italian as The Hundred Old Tales, as well as the Facetiae[1] by Poggio.
- Unquestionably, however, Poggio, like his comrades of the “Bugiale,” delighted in broad humor and odorous jest. In his facetiae he portrays a material world of earthly desire, impiety and jocular cynicism. In this world, the women are all unfaithful and the men cuckolds; and the clergy and royalty are mercilessly ridiculed. The picture is undoubtedly exaggerated and unfair. But to a large extent it was the world which he and his comrades knew. --From the introduction to Facetia Erotica
