Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. Chess is like life. Whether the game and pieces represent war, court society, or the world at large, in a general way and simply seen, the game has come to symbolize the world and human activity. This metaphor comes down from the thirteenth century when Jacob de Cessolis, a Dominican friar in the Lombard region of Italy, delivered a sermon based on the game. The sermon was so well received that his fellow friars insisted he write it out. His "Liber de moribus hominum et officiis nobelium" ("Book of the Manners of Men and the Offices of the Nobility"), now simply called "The Book of Chess," was famous throughout Europe. It was translated into numerous languages and presents readers with a primer on the game and a look into a contemporary's view of the structure and ways of medieval society. From kings and queens, to farmers and gamblers, Jacob 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. Includes introduction, notes, bibliographic essay.16 woodcuts from Caxton's 1474 edition. Paperback, 148 pp. 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.

Munchen Verlag Karl Thiemig 1981 Bound, 96pp., 22,5x25,5cm., richly illustr. in colour and b/w., in very good condition (binding with some traces of use). ISBN 9783521041356. The volume analyses a specific motif within the medieval tradition of chess allegory originating from the influential treatise attributed to Jacobus de Cessolis, in which the chessboard represents the hierarchical structure of society and each piece symbolises a professional or social role. The study focuses on the representation of the physician among the occupational figures linked to the pawns and explains how moral instruction, professional duties, and ethical ideals were articulated through narratives associated with the game of chess. It also contextualises the broader dissemination of the Cessolis tradition, one of the most widely circulated didactic texts of the late Middle Ages, examining manuscripts, iconography, and the reception of the allegory in later cultural and historical interpretations of chess literature and social symbolism.…
