Personal Growth & Self-Development
Italian courtesy-books
William Michael Rossetti
100 pages~2 hr read5 chapters$1.99
Fifty courtesies for the table, versified by Fra Bonvesino da Riva in the thirteenth century: do not slurp, do not sprawl, honor your neighbor's portion. Rossetti presents these medieval Italian manners texts with commentary, a window into how civilization taught itself to dine. Etiquette old enough to be archaeology, and still half useful. Mind your manners, medievally.
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.
