Book Overview

The Book of Nurture, The Book of Keruynge, and The Book of Nurture are three medieval texts compiled into one volume and edited by Hugh Rhodes in 1867. The first text, The Book of Nurture by John Russell, is a guide to etiquette and manners for young boys in medieval England. It covers topics such as table manners, clothing, and behavior in public. The second text, The Book of Keruynge by Wynkyn de Worde, is a manual on carving meat and fish at the table. It provides detailed instructions on how to carve different types of meat and fish, as well as advice on presenting the food in an aesthetically pleasing manner. The third text, The Book of Nurture by Hugh Rhodes, is a later version of Russell's original work, with additional material on topics such as hunting and falconry. Together, these three texts offer a fascinating glimpse into the social norms and customs of medieval England, and provide valuable insights into the daily life of the nobility and gentry.Edited By Frederick James Furnivall.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
