| Summary | "A Treatyse of Fysshynge wyth an Angle" by Dame Juliana Berners is an essential treatise on angling and fishing written in the late 15th century. This historical publication is notable for being one of the first texts printed in England on the subject of fishing, offering insights into the practices of angling and the ethical considerations surrounding the sport. The book remains a focal point for enthusiasts of historical fishing literature and an important work in the genre of recreational angling guides. In "A Treatyse of Fysshynge wyth an Angle," Berners dives deep into the art of fishing, detailing the necessary equipment, including the construction of rods, lines, and hooks, and the specific bait selections for various types of fish. The treatise not only covers technical aspects such as the best times and places to fish but also emphasizes the virtues of patience, serenity, and respect for nature—a perspective that elevates angling to a moral discipline. Through eloquent prose, Berners reflects on the philosophical joys of fishing as a way to attain pleasure and contemplation, making the book a timeless resource that marries practical skills with philosophical insights.
