%X R¨¦sum¨¦ : ¨¤ la fin du Moyen  ge, tout un ensemble de r¨¨gles d¡¯¨¦ducation corporelle se mettent en place en Occident. De nombreux trait¨¦s, enseignements, ouvrages didactiques et moraux s¡¯int¨¦ressent notamment ¨¤ la mani¨¨re de contr ler son corps, voire de le dresser pour que l¡¯individu int¨¦riorise et incorpore des logiques, des r¨¨gles, des valeurs qui feront de lui, et aux yeux de son entourage, un ¨ºtre polic¨¦ et courtois, ma tre de ses ¨¦motions et de ses gestes. Cette litt¨¦rature tente de diffuser des usages, des significations, des normes sociales dans la soci¨¦t¨¦. Elle se donne pour objectif de modeler l¡¯homme, de le transformer et que son corps devienne le produit d¡¯un fa onnage social. En d¨¦finitive, il s¡¯agit d¡¯orienter les comportements de l¡¯individu en soci¨¦t¨¦, de l¡¯¨¦duquer aux bonnes mani¨¨res en enseignant le savoir-vivre. Le Babee¡¯s Book, trait¨¦ anglo-normand sur l¡¯¨¦ducation et la courtoisie diffus¨¦ au XVe si¨¨cle aupr¨¨s des jeunes nobles anglais fournit un bon exemple sur le service que doit accomplir le page, l¡¯attitude ¨¤ adopter en soci¨¦t¨¦, auxquels s¡¯ajoutent des pr¨¦ceptes moraux inspir¨¦s, entre autre, par Caton. Ce trait¨¦ sur les bonnes mani¨¨res s¡¯attarde sur les mani¨¨res de la table, moment important de la sociabilit¨¦ m¨¦di¨¦vale, mais il dispense ¨¦galement des conseils moraux, de nouveaux codes de comportement, de nouvelles r¨¨gles de vie en soci¨¦t¨¦ sur l'¨ºtre et le para tre. Abstract : At the end of the Middle Ages a whole set of rules on corporal education is set up in Western Europe. Numerous treatises, teachings, didactic and moral works take interest in the way one controls his body, even disciplines it, so he can interiorize and assimilate logics, rules, values that will make him, and in the eyes of his entourage, a civilized and courteous being, who is able to keep his actions and his emotions under control. This literature tries to spread customs, meanings, social standards in society. Its intention is to shape man, to transform him so that his body will become the result of a social moulding. Eventually, it is about orienting individual behaviow in society, about teaching him good manners by inculcating   savoir-vivre  . The Babee¡¯s Book, an Anglo-Norman manual on education and courtesy released in the 15th Century for young English noblemen, provides a good example of what is expected of a page, of how to behave in society of behaviow, to which are added moral precepts inspired, among others, by Caton. This treatise on good manners insists on table manners, an important moment in medieval sociability, but it also gives moral advice, ne
