Abstract

The article analyzes the reception of some Calila e Dimna short stories in the Middle Ages Italian novella; the intent is to nd the short stories that passed to the Italian novella. According to the results of this investigation, few are the fables that are used by Italian authors and when they use some of them they deeply change them; in the article I try to understand the reasons why Calila and Dimna appears less interesting as a collection of fables than as book, according to the Italian novellieri.
