Na Instrução dos principiantes, Hugo apresenta o treinamento em que eram conduzidos, sob a guia do mestre de noviços, os recém-chegados à escola, cujo objetivo era aprender “o bom termo e a medida adequada em todas as palavras e ações”, isto é, a disciplina: como se comportar e governar o corpo — no caminhar, nos gestos, na fala, no tratamento dos outros e nos modos à mesa.
