Description
In the 13th century, de Cessolis outlined the virtues and vices, obligations and inclinations of various members of medieval society: those who governed, those who fought and those who worked, playing out their qualities on the chess board. This edition offers the first English translation of this famous work since Caxton's printing of 1474.
