Tales of the Heptameron, Vol. Iv
Queen of Nava Margaret Queen of Navarre
Marguerite de Navarre was queen consort of King Henry II of Navarre and an author and patron of the arts.
The Heptameron is a collection of stories inspired by Giovanni Boccaccio's Decameron. Many of the stories deal with matters of romance and sex. Margaret believed a man could not attain a perfect love of God without first having loved a creature of the world.
It was intended to be a collection of one hundred stories set over a ten day time period, but was never completed. A total of seventy-two stories in seven volumes exist. This is the fourth volume of the five.
