What is the best translation of The Decameron?

Question

Accepted Answer

For most readers, the Wayne A. Rebhorn translation (2013) of The Decameron is the best place to start: Wayne Rebhorn's 2013 translation won a major prize and is the one I'd start with — lively, contemporary American English that still keeps Boccaccio's medieval rhetorical flavor. The complete hundred tales. This is where I'd start. For most scholarly, consider G. H. McWilliam (1972). For most literal, consider Musa & Bondanella (1982). For the free classic, consider J. M. Rigg (1903).
