Answer:

to ignore and run away from

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the given excerpt from Decameron by Giovanni Boccaccio, the phrase "shun and flee" means to ignore and run away from.

This is because, "to shun" means to ignore or snub someone, while "to flee" means to run away or take flight.
