15th-century Texts

  • Berners, Dame Juliana (1496). A Treatise of Fysshynge with An Angle. London: Wynkyn De Worde. http://www.archive.org/download/treatyseoffysshy00bern/treatyseoffysshy00bern.pdf.

Although it was once regarded as the source from which all later works on fly fishing sprang, the Treatyse can now, more correctly, be regarded as a British text on fly fishing which happens to have survived, although its status as the earliest English printed book on fishing means that it remains hugely influential.

Dr. Andrew Herd, The Fly, 2001

Famous quotes containing the word texts:

    The party of God and the party of Literature have more in common than either will admit; their texts may conflict, but their bigotries coincide. Both insist on being the sole custodians of the true word and its only interpreters.
    Frederic Raphael (b. 1931)
