    So the Gesta Romanorum are a collection of moral tales. What on earth does a vague description of chess rules have to do with morality? Who knows! This is what happens when medieval Latin goes off the rails. This is what the humanists were trying to beat down. As always, the DCC 1000 is not here. Brace yourself and hold on to your hat for this one!

    Gesta Romanorum 112 de scacario

    Scacarium habet octo puncta. Ad istum ludum ludunt septem homines. Primus podinus, quo, cum procedit non vadit nisi unum punctum, et quando vadit lateraliter ex alia parte, rapit alium, et cum venerit ad metam, fit fert vel regina. Secundus alphinus, currit tria puncta sursum et deorsum. Tertius miles vadens tria puncta lateraliter. Quartus rocchus, vadit omnibus modis in longum, latum et capit, quidquid invenit. Quintus fert, id est regina, non vadit de albo ad nigrum et ponitur iuxta regem et, quando recedit a rege, capitur. Sextus rex, vadit ante et retro et a latere et capit ubique. Sed quando non curat, habet sichel et math, id est conclusus atque captus.
