Synopsis

The Book of the Knight of the Tower, Landry: Which He Made for the Instruction of His Daughters is a book written by Geoffroy De La Tour Landry in 1371. This 1868 edition is a translation of the original French text. The book is a guide for young women, particularly daughters of the nobility, on how to behave and conduct themselves in a virtuous manner. The knight, Landry, wrote the book for his own daughters and it is filled with stories, parables, and advice on topics such as courtly love, marriage, and religious devotion. The book is divided into four parts, each addressing a different aspect of life. The first part covers the importance of faith and prayer, the second part discusses the virtues of a good wife, the third part addresses the importance of education, and the fourth part deals with the dangers of vice and the importance of moral conduct. The Book of the Knight of the Tower, Landry is a valuable historical document that provides insight into the values and beliefs of medieval society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
