AB  - Suggests that Gratiano's mention of "Nerissa's ring" in the Merchant of Venice is not a bawdy reference to the female body, as many scholars have argued, but rather an allusion to the "ring jest" of Ludovico Ariosto's fifth satire and thus acts to make fun of Gratiano's stereotypical Italian jealousy.
