Synopsis
Excerpt from The Relation of Hans Sachs to the Decameron
Indeed, it would seem from his reference to the above passage in his notes to No. 80, vol. X., as if he thought Dec. Ix. 3 was the source of No. 80, whereas it is only remotely connected with it. The Schwank is undated, but from what is known of Sachs' usual practice, it may be safely concluded that the Schwank was written first. In it three wags play a practical joke upon their stingy companion. It cannot be said to have influenced the play to any noticeable extent.
