They're not contemporary, but I'm aware of several other texts with similar framing devices:

Marguerite de Navarre, The Heptaméron
Giovan Francesco Straparola, The Pleasant Nights
Giambattista Basile, The Tale of Tales
Henriette-Julie de Castelnau, A Trip to the Country (although in this one more action takes place between the stories and several narrators are acquainted with each other)
Robert Challe, Les Illustres Françaises (again, not strangers)
Jan Potocki, The Manuscript Found in Saragossa
