In 1394, an elderly Parisian burgher married a girl of 15 and presented her with a book of moral and domestic instructions that he had written to guide her. Tania Bayard has newly translated the most interesting portions of the book, called by eminent medievalist Eileen Power the most exhaustive treatise on the subject. Illustrated with 40 medieval woodcuts."
