Publisher Notes
For thousands of avid book collectors, the literature of sport begins with The Treatise of Fishing with an Angle (ca. 1450). For fly fishers in particular, The Treatise is illuminated by the persistent mystique of its author, a noblewoman and nun, Dame Juliana Berners. Under the sponsorship of Sports Illustrated, historian John McDonald used the Wagstaff manuscript copy of the Treatise to create the satisfying and elegant analysis of this early sporting book, and to fix Berners's place in the literature of field sports. "The Origins of Angling" is a fully annotated facsimile edition of the priceless original, complete with illustrations and a parallel text translation from the Old English.
