A Renaissance Courtesy-book: Galateo of Manners & Behaviours
Giovanni Della Casa and Joel Elias Spingarn
125 pages~2 hr 30 min read8 chapters$4.99
Do not sniff another man's wine, and never trim your nails at table. Giovanni Della Casa's Galateo, the Renaissance's wittiest manners manual, arrives in its robust Elizabethan translation, complete with dedication and commendatory verses. Four centuries on, its counsel about talk, dress and dining still lands. Courtesy, it turns out, ages better than fashion.
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.
