Reginald Harvey Arnold

Best remembered for a witty guide to etiquette and social customs, this little-known writer is associated with the enduringly curious title Simplex Munditiis, Gentlemen. Very little biographical information is readily available, which gives the work an extra air of period mystery.

About the author

Reginald Harvey Arnold is a scarce historical figure in the public record. The clearest confirmed attribution links him as co-author, with Mortimer Delano de Lannoy, of Simplex Munditiis, Gentlemen, a work on manners and social customs that has continued to circulate through digital archives and modern reprints.

Beyond that publication credit, reliable biographical details are hard to verify from the sources available online. No solid, well-sourced profile with dates, background, or a fuller life story was readily found, so it is best to treat him as an obscure author whose surviving reputation rests mainly on this one known work.
