I do not know about any historical written account on good manners but they should exist. we use to follow what our parents, relatives, teachers and friends have taught us. But I remember specific EU schools well known for teaching best behaviour manners. All were belonging to the Order of Ursulines, where you were taught how to peel an orange without the touch of your fingers, but only the use of a knife and fork.
