The Decameron is a famous book of stories by the Italian writer Giovanni Boccaccio, from the middle of the 1300s. In the book, ten people leave a city that is sick with plague, stay in the country for ten days, and tell stories to pass the time — a hundred stories in all. Many are funny; quite a few are about love and sex. The book later shaped English writers who also used a “frame”: people sitting together and telling tales. When we say the Decameron, we mean this work, not just any pile of spicy stories — though a critic might jokingly call a naughty story-collection “a kind of Decameron.”
