Lo Crestià

The first book and the half of the twelfth one (Dotzè in Catalan) were printed by the German printer Lambert Palmart in Valencia in 1483 and 1484.

[2] Originally it should have consisted of thirteen books, that would have explained "in short all the foundations of Christianism" in order to encourage the study of theology among the laymen.

Nevertheless, most of the matters of the rest of the books of Lo Crestià that were not finally written are scattered through other Eiximenis' works.

The interest of Peter IV in this book was so great, that he gave orders to keep Eiximenis going out of his convent "until he has not finished the job".

[5] This volume includes the part How to use properly of the food and the drinks (Com usar bé de beure e menjar) that, even though it does not include recipes, can be used as a guide in order to know all about that time's gastronomy, such as the service at the table, the protocol and the moral rules that were used when having a meal around a table[6] The twelfth volume, or Dotzè del Crestià was written between 1385 and 1392.
