What it is about
Rules of Good Breeding, in Catalan: how to behave at table and in the street.
Context and history
A fourteenth-century manual of manners. It is valuable as a document: one of the few windows onto medieval daily life — what was eaten, how people sat, who spoke first.
Editorial context, not a citable source: unlike the passages of the work itself, these statements cannot be checked against the corpus.
Estant en taula, jatsia que sies apres foch, not vulles exan. car de guisa que hom te ueja neguna part uergonyosa, ne dels jenoylls amunt per res. James no tingues cama sobre cama en taula, net tochs çabates ne calçes. Tostemps menjant dins ton cor fe gracies adeu quit proueheix largament. Nuyl temps dauant tu en taula, en que deus te fa pietat, faces tanta crueltat que leixs, que negu murmur daltre; mas siu fa, gira la materia, si son majors que tu, o, si son menors, fels callar. Aço feya descretament seruar sent Agusti en la sua taula. Tantost com sies en taula te uaja lo cor, que la primera cosa que hix del ast o de la olla sia partida axi: que la primera porcio uaja a deu, ço es, als pobres, e majorment e amagadament, als vergonyants, e aqui sia tota la tua cara, e james no uendras a menys. Menjant no ferms luyll en negu en casa tua, car apparrja quet dolgues lur menjar o darlos hies mal menjar. Souin en ta casa, quaix qui guarda atrauers, es bo que hajes luyl vbert sobre tots infants, e sobre los altres per darlos nodriment de menjar en son loch e temps, e que axi guardant sapies lurs deffalliments.
