Fishing with an Angle
A Treatise of Fishing with an Angle by Dame Juliana Berner.
I discovered this book while reading another book on fishing. A Treatise of Fishing with an Angle is written in the late 15th Century (1496), and the writing is attributed to a nun, Benedictine sister, Dame Juliana Berner who was prioress of a Benedictine convent near St. Albans. The work is one of the earliest known comprehensive guides on fishing. In addition to a treatise on fishing, the writings provide advice on living a happy life, a long, fulfilling life for the soul.
