Art must be the faithful expression of a society, since it represents it by its works as it has created them -- undeniable witnesses of its spirit and manners for future generations. But it must be acknowledged that art is only the consequence of the ideas which it expresses; it is the fruit of civilization, not its origin. To understand the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, it is necessary to go back to the source of its art, and to know the life of our fathers; these are two inseparable things, which entwine one another, and become complete one by the other. - Preface.

First published in 1876, Manners, Customs, and Dress during the Middle Ages and during the Renaissance Period offers a fascinating glimpse into the art and lifestyles of the people of the Middle Ages and Renaissance era. Complete with hundreds of illustrations from wooden engravings and more than a dozen replications of beautifully intricate chromolithographic prints, this resurrected classic is rich with history and retains its ancient appeal. As articulated in the Preface: “Art must be the faithful expression of a society, since it represents it by its works as it has created them . . . But it must be acknowledged that art is only the consequence of the ideas which is expresses; it is the fruit of civilization, not its origin.” This exploration of a cultural movement and the arts and behaviors of its people extends through chapters on the condition of persons and lands; privileges and rights; food and cookery; games and pastimes; commerce; taxes, money, and finance; secret tribunals; punishments; costumes; and more. Within these pages, experience the social and artistic revolution born through the Renaissance and told by a renowned historian of the period.

This work is a vivid and faithful description of the Manners and Customs of the Middle Ages and Renaissance. In writing this work, the author has practically depended on the prevailing art during the periods under study. Art tells us about the life of our ancestors. As such, the contemporary art and the Manners and Customs of the period are two inseparable things. Both entwine one another, and become complete one by the other. The reader will observe that the public and private customs offer a curious mixture of barbarism and civilization during the period under study. Barbarian, Roman, and Christian customs and character are mixed up in the same society, and very often in the same individuals. Apart from feudalism, the counter of dealers, fairs and markets, manufactures, commerce, industry and fashion and dress will attract the attention of the reader in this work. The author has taken great pains in reproducing by means of strict facsimiles the engraving and chromo-lithography pertaining to the Middle Ages, and the rarest engravings of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries as well as the most precious miniatures of the manuscripts preserved in principal libraries of Europe. This has not made it easier to understand the subject under study more intimately but has also added the beauty and value of the book. The detailed introduction by the Editor provides added and latest information about the subject under study. It is hoped that the book and the subject would be of greatest interest, not only to the man of science and students of European history, but to the common man of the world also. Besides, the way the book has been produced; it can be an excellent coffee table book.

Excerpt from Manners, Customs, and Dress During the Middle Ages, and During the Renaissance Period In a high order of ideas, What great facts serve as a foundation to our history and that of the modern world We have first royalty, which, weak and debased under the Merovingians, rises and establishes itself energetically under Pepin and Charlemagne, to degenerate under Louis le Debonnaire and Charles le Chauve. After having dared a second time to found the Empire of the Caesars, it quickly sees its sovereignty replaced by feudal rights, and all its rights usurped by the nobles, and has to struggle for many centuries to recover its rights one by one. Feudalism, evidently of Germanic origin, will also attract our attention, and we shall draw a rapid outline of this legislation, which, barbarian at the onset, becomes by degrees subject to the rules of moral progress. We shall ascertain that military service is the essence itself of the fief, and that thence springs feudal right. On our way we shall protest against civil wars, and shall welcome emancipation and the formation of the communes. F 01 lowing the thousand details of the life of the people, we shall see the slave become serf, and the serf become peasant. We shall assist at the dispensation of justice by royalty and nobility, at the solemn sittings of parliaments, and we shall see the complicated details of a strict ceremonial, which formed an integral part of the law, develop themselves before us. The counters of dealers, fairs and markets, manufactures, commerce, and industry, also merit our attention; we must search deeply into corporations of workmen and tradesmen, examining their statutes, and initiating ourselves into their business. Fashion and dress are also a manifestation of public and private customs for that reason we must give them particular attention.
