Manners, Customs, and Dress During the Middle Ages and During the Renaissance Period
Paul Lacroix, who wrote under the name of the Bibliophile Jacob and was curator of the Arsenal library in Paris, intended this book as a companion to his earlier volume on the arts of the Middle Ages. Illustrated with chromolithographs and some four hundred wood engravings after manuscripts, it surveys how people lived from the feudal age to the Renaissance: the condition of persons and lands, feudal and municipal rights, private life in castles, towns and countryside, food, cookery and feasts, hunting, games and pastimes, commerce and guilds, taxes and money, justice, secret tribunals and punishments, the situation of the Jews, the world of beggars and vagabonds, ceremonies, and costume. The full text is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, and the first chapter is free.
