Early English Meals and Manners
Frederick James Furnivall
Medieval children were drilled in exactly how to behave at dinner, and the textbooks survive. Furnivall's collection of early English meals and manners gathers the courtesy books of the olden time: table conduct, carving, service, and civility for every rank. The Middle Ages at table, in their own words. Mind your manners, fourteenth century style.
Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
