    HISTORY OF IDEAS - Manners

    14:46HISTORY OF IDEAS - Manners
    • London, England, 1209. The Book of the Civilised Man is published by a Daniel of Beckles. It's a poem written in Latin that explains how to act with courtesy and decorum in social situations. It advises, for example, if you wish to belch, remember to look up to the ceiling, do not attack your enemy while he is squatting to defecate, never pester ladies or look too closely at their dress, don't mount your horse in the hall and, in front of grandees, do not openly excavate your nostril by twisting your fingers. Slowly, the aristocracy is becoming more self-aware about its conduct in social circumstances. In particular, men are being asked to behave with more decorum around women, and there's an ever-increasing censure of picking one's nose in public.
