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:

    I know that I will always be expected to have extra insight into black texts—especially texts by black women. A working-class Jewish woman from Brooklyn could become an expert on Shakespeare or Baudelaire, my students seemed to believe, if she mastered the language, the texts, and the critical literature. But they would not grant that a middle-class white man could ever be a trusted authority on Toni Morrison.
    Claire Oberon Garcia, African American scholar and educator. Chronicle of Higher Education, p. B2 (July 27, 1994)
