1880 1st ed Juliana Berners Book of Saint Albans FISHING Angling Compleat Angler

A fine reissue of the first English book on angling!

Juliana Berners was an early 15th-century English writer who is known for her works on English heraldry and sports. Most notably, she wrote treatises on fishing, hunting, and hawking. Originally known as 'Book of Saint Albans', this treatise was immensely popular, so much so that Berners added the section on fishing later. Entitled 'Treatyse of Fysshynge with an Angle', this section offers practical advice for fishing and is known to have been the primary source for Isaak Walton's treatise on fishing 'The Compleat Angler'.

This 1880 printing is the first issue of the photographic facsimile edition published in London. It should be noted that this facsimile edition is considered "one of the best facsimiles ever executed" by Westwood & Satchell.
