"The boke of Saint Albans: containing treatises on hawking, hunting, and cote..." is a compilation printed in 1486 that captures the essential knowledge for a gentleman of its era. Attributed partly to Juliana Berners, this work combines treatises on falconry, hunting, heraldry, and later angling. It features England's first color printing and introduced many collective nouns still used today. Drawing from French sources and older manuscripts, it became wildly popular through the
sixteenth century, offering technical language, social hierarchies of raptors, and the virtues expected of the aristocratic sportsman. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
