jest book
Jest books (or Jestbooks) are collections of jokes and humorous anecdotes in book form - a literary genre which reached its greatest importance in the early modern period.〔G. Legman, ''Rationale of the Dirty Joke'' (1973) Vol 1 p. 27〕
==Origins==
The oldest surviving collection of jokes is the Byzantine ''Philogelos'' from the first millennium.〔G. Legman, ''Rationale of the Dirty Joke'' (1973) Vol 1 p. 25〕 In Western Europe, the medieval fabliau〔B. Ford ed., ''The Age of Shakespeare'' (1973) p. 126〕 and the Arab/Italian novella〔G. Legman, ''Rationale of the Dirty Joke'' (1973) Vol 1 p. 26〕
built up a large body of humorous tales; but it was only with the ''Facetiae'' of Poggio (1451) that the anecdote first appears rendered down into joke form (with prominent punchline) in an early modern collection.〔G. Legman, ''Rationale of the Dirty Joke'' (1973) Vol 1 p. 37〕
Like his immediate successors Heinrich Bebel and Girolamo Morlini, Poggio translated his folk material from their original language into Latin, the universal European language of the time.〔G. Legman, ''Rationale of the Dirty Joke'' (1973) Vol 1 p. 25〕 From such universal collections, developed the particular vernacular jestbooks of the various European countries in the sixteenth century.〔(Jest books )〕
