ine SpiRif and I nff(Jence

In this work, the author considers the principles of Chivalry and describes the Chivalric feeling which has emanated from the . Middle Ages, tracing its operations on the mind and actions of mankind. The manners and ideas explained here may appear odd to us now, but they were very real to the Medieval people of the time they represent.

John Batty was a private antiquarian and writer.
