Description
Gentil'huomo di Casale di Monferrato, divisa in quattro libri.
Nel primo si tratta in generale de' frutti, che si cavano dal conversare. Nel secondo si discorre primariamente delle maniere convenevoli a tutte le persone nel conversar fuori di casa. Nel terzo si dichiarano particolarmente i modi, che s'hanno a serbare nella domestica conversazione: cioe tra marito e moglie. tra padrone e servitore. Nel quarto si rappresenta la forma della Civil Conversatione. Nuovamente dall'istesso Auttore corretta, & di molte cose, non meno utili, che piacevoli ampliata.
by GUAZZO, Stefano
In Vinegia, Presso Altobello Salicato (Venice) ; 1590
Guazzo's text had a considerable impact on Tudor and Jacobean England's concepts of the conduct and etiquette proper to a gentleman; its influence can be seen throughout the literature and drama of the day.
