Excerpt from IL Libro dei Sette Savi di Roma Tratto da un Codice del Secolo XIV
Giovanni Della Lucia, che di chiaro servirsi di un codice da lui posseduto. Ben doveva aspet tarsi che trattandosi di un libro di fondo orientale portato dalla tradizione medievale in Italia e vestito alla nostra foggia con rac conti più o meno popolari l'uno all'altro contrapposti, sicchè ne deriva un gradevole intreccio che non manca d' importanza morale dimostrare cioè I' uomo creda Io, dabbene, che fatto vecchio e perduto nell'amore di una se conda moglie giovane, bella e ingannatrice si riduce a dire e disdire, aggirato come un fan ciullo da lei ond' è rappresentata la malizia della donna che da sola tien testa all' autorità di molti ma che deve in fine collo svilup po della favola principale lasciar trionfare la verità e la giusti.
