"Le ménagier de Paris (v. 1 & 2)" by Anonymous is a French medieval guidebook written in 1393. Written in the voice of an elderly husband addressing his younger wife, it instructs women on proper behavior in marriage and household management. The work combines advice on attaining the love of God and husband, increasing household prosperity, and social entertainment. It includes sexual guidance, recipes, gardening tips, and draws on tales like Griselda and Lucretia to illustrate wifely obedience and domestic duty. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
