Facetiae

The Facetiae is an anthology of jokes by Poggio Bracciolini (1380–1459), first published in 1470.

The collection, "the most famous jokebook of the Renaissance",[1] is notable for its inclusion of scatological jokes and tales, six of the tales involving flatulation humor and six involving defecation.

Early editions of the Facetiae are rare, and they are not yet described in an organized fashion as is common for incunabula.

It was, evidently, very popular: an 1894 bibliography lists twenty editions from the fifteenth century, and states that the oldest is printed by Georgius Lauer in Rome and is known as Hain 13179 (a quarto with 110 leaves).
