Excerpt from Italian Courtesy-Books: Fra Bonvicino Da Riva's Fifty Courtesies for the Table (Italian and English); With Other Translations and Elucidations However, Brunette seems to have considered that he had a gift that way. Both his leading works may be termed moral-scientific treatises. The longer of the two, the Tesoro, was written in French prose, and is much of 'a compilation from classic authors in some sec tions.
