The poems cover a wide range of subjects, from how to behave in public to the importance of hard work and honesty. The book is considered an important work of medieval literature and has been used as a teaching tool for centuries. This edition includes an introduction by the translator, as well as a glossary of terms and a bibliography for further reading.
