Whereas the stories of the [[Heptameron]] and the [[Nouvelles Recreations]] still contain much that is superfluous, the tendency toward the pure form of the anecdote appears ever more clearly in the last decades of the 16th century, to assume final form in the work of Bouchet and [[Beroalde de Verville]].
