Summary "The Book of Husbandry" by Anthony Fitzherbert is an agricultural guide written during the early 16th century. This treatise discusses various aspects of farming, including instructions on plowing, sowing, and livestock management, while addressing both practical and philosophical dimensions of husbandry. Through this work, Fitzherbert provides insights for husbandmen to improve their agricultural practices, thereby enhancing their livelihood. The opening of the text presents an introduction by the author, emphasizing the importance of labor and the role of husbandmen in society. Fitzherbert begins by explaining that husbandmen primarily sustain themselves through agriculture, particularly by engaging in plowing, sowing crops, and raising animals. He elaborates on different types of plows suited for various soils and outlines the necessary tools and materials for effective husbandry. Through these discussions, the author aims to equip readers with practical knowledge and advice vital for farming success. The tone suggests a combination of practical instruction and moral reflection on the responsibilities of land cultivation and stewardship. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
