A Treatyse of Fysshynge wyth an Angle, by Dame Juliana Berners

COMPANION VOLUME TO THE “TREATYSE OF FYSSHYNGE WYTH AN ANGLE.”

In the Press, and shortly will be Published, uniform with “The Treatyse of Fysshynge wyth an Angle,”

A FACSIMILE OF THE BOOK OF SAINT ALBANS, BY DAME JULIANA BERNERS. CONTAINING THE TREATISES ON HAWKING, HUNTING, AND HERALDRY.

PRINTED AT ST. ALBANS BY THE SCHOOLMASTER-PRINTER IN 1486.

With an Introduction by WILLIAM BLADES, Author of the “Life and Typography of Caxton.”

This fac­sim­ile is faith­ful­ly re­pro­duced by pho­tog­ra­phy; it is being print­ed on rough hand-made pap­er sim­i­lar to that of the or­i­gi­nal, and will be bound in hand­some con­tem­po­rary bind­ing. The in­ter­est and val­ue of this re­pro­duc­tion will be great­ly en­hanced by Mr. BLADES’ Preface, which treats at length, in separate chapters, of the AUTHORSHIP, TYPOGRAPHY, BIBLIOGRAPHY, SUBJECT-MATTER, and PHILOLOGY of the Work.

As THE BOOK OF SAINT ALBANS is the Work in which THE TREATYSE OF FYSSHYNGE WYTH AN ANGLE was in­cor­po­rated on its first pub­li­ca­tion, its pos­ses­sion by the Sub­scrib­ers to the lat­ter should be se­cured, in or­der to com­plete the set of “dy­uerse bokys con­cern­ynge to gen­tyll and no­ble men.”

A full Pro­spec­tus con­cern­ing the pub­li­ca­tion of “The Book of Saint Al­bans” will be sent on ap­pli­ca­tion to
