The Decameron (abridged)

This audiobook was advertised as "unabridged". While the stories themselves were unabridged, the audiobook only contained about a tenth of the stories from the full Decameron. We miss the frame story and launch right into some the tales. The ones here are heavily on the raunchy side, with most having to do with some sort of sex and romance and the church. Though perhaps at the time of the black death these were the more positive things going on. Is the whole thing similar, or were these ones chosen out?
