In Italy, Italian humanist Poggio Bracciolini (1380-1459) creates his best known book of jokes, the Liber Facetiarum or Facetia.

This collection contains 273 humorous anecdotes,

jokes, jests, puns and bons mots – taken from his travels around Europe.  

This is the first time a humorous work of this kind is published in Europe.
