The Book of the Courtier, Baldassare Castiglione's classic account
of Renaissance court life, offers profound insight into the refined
behavior which defined the era's ruling class. The courtly customs
and manners of Italy to a great extent characterized the
Renaissance, which elevated art and expression to new heights.
Baldassare Castiglione published this book with the intention of
chronicling the manners, customs and traditions which underpinned
how courtiers, nobles, and their servants, behaved. Although
ostensibly a book of etiquette and good conduct, Castiglione's
treatise carries enormous historical value. He derived his
observations directly from the many gatherings and receptions
conducted by society's elite. Conversations with the officials,
diplomats and nobility of the era further enhanced the accuracy of
this book, imbuing it with an authenticity seldom seen elsewhere.
