Synopsis
“Manners, Customs, And Observances: Their Origin And Signification” by Leopold Wagner. This volume is an encyclopedic survey tracing the origins, meanings, and evolution of countless social practices, rituals, and symbols across Western history. Organized into broad thematic sections—Regal and Ecclesiastical, Naval and Military, Legal and Parliamentary, Civic and Social, Courtship and Marriage, Death and Burial, Amusements of the People, Patron Saints and Their Attributes, Festivals of the Church, Jewish Fasts and Festivals, Secular Observances—the book explains how heraldry, liturgy, etiquette, and everyday manners arose, how they signified rank, piety, or social belonging, and how they persisted or changed over time. Wagner integrates heraldry, emblematic objects, ceremonial practices, and folk beliefs with examples from England and continental Europe, illustrating with historical anecdotes such as royal devices, the Royal Arms, the Mace, the practice of kissing the Pope’s foot, wedding rites, and holiday observances. The Preface emphasizes accuracy and reliance on authorities, making the work a substantial reference for researchers, students, and general readers seeking to understand why people behave as they do.
