How does the Decameron frame (Rigg translation, vol. I) constrain and vary its tales, and what can an agent take for curated anthologies?
In Rigg's English the Decameron frame uses a rotating ruler per day, a stated subject (free on Day 1, "unexpected felicity" on Day 2 per the passages read), advance preparation and one teller with a standing exemption who speaks last. The plague proem is justified as contrast. Observations come from the Day 1 introduction, the Day 1-2 transition and Rigg's introductory notes; the later days and the author's closing remarks were not read.
