#TBRtemptation post! This is a book that no collection is complete without. Published by the Florentine in Venice in 1558, it's a courtesy-book on good & bad behavior of the day. It discussed Renaissance dress, table manners, conversation, etc. This is an iconic work, studied by all his contemporaries & generations since, so much so that the title became a common Italian term. It's the template for Emily Post, et al. #blameLitsy #blameMrBook 😎
