The work explores the intricate tapestry of social behaviors, traditions, and fashion that characterized life during the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, offering insight into the evolution of various customs reflective of broader societal changes.  The opening of the book serves as a preface where the author outlines the rationale and importance behind the study of manners and customs from these periods, asserting the significance of art and culture as expressions of societal values. Lacroix discusses the chaotic disorganization that marked the early Middle Ages, characterized by a blend of Roman, Germanic, and Christian influences that led to feudalism and a complex social hierarchy. Essential themes include the transformation of roles within this evolving society, the gradual shift from servitude to freedom, and the rich array of customs that illustrate daily life, from royalty to peasantry. The text prepares the reader for a detailed exploration of how historical factors shaped the lives of ordinary people and the nobility alike.
