Hi, sorry if there is already a thread for this here (my eyes hurt from looking).

I am interested in dining etiquette. This will be for a dinner to be held the night before our St Georges Day Jousts next April.

Any help is much appreciated.

Rod, there's a book called the "Babees Book" I think it might actually be online some where that talks about things that one should and shouldn't do in all sorts of situations.

Contains pieces of the book.

Also, there's the "Book of Carving" which is more for the staff on how to serve a lord, from table setup to carving.

The Boke of Keruynge Wynkyn de Worde

I think we addressed this on the site at one point, but it'd take a bit to find it.

Thanks for that Jenn. I couldn't seem to channel my Google-Fu last night.

For a complete 15thC Rule

Early English text society

A fifteenth century courtesy book

and two Franciscan Rules

RW Chambers and Walter Seton

ISBN 0859917533

It is in the original early modern, but typescript and with abbreviations expanded.

Not cheap for a paper back, 20 quid! but a good reference book.
