    Fifty Courtesies of the Table
    by Fra Bonvesin

    a thirteenth century MS which at present exists among the many treasures of the Ambrosian Library in Milan.

Might someone have a version in English that they would share?

An internet search of the title and author does pick up a copy of the Antiquary from 1887 where T Caress Martin discusses parts of the book.
One example that seems to be on point is the admonishment not to soak your bread in your wine and another is not to pick your teeth with your fingers.
These are from Google books and there is a free download option on this publication.

Thank you.

That was the stuff that got me thinking about finding an English translation.

It would be nice if Google would pay a visit to the Ambrosian Library and copy the whole book.

Speaking a little off topic are you aware of the DYI Book Scanner?

I have always wanted to make this but there is not enough room space here in a NYC.
