Juliana Berners, or Barnes, to whom the above Treatises were ascribed, is supposed to have been sister to Richard, Lord Berners, of Essex, and prioress of Sopwell, near St. Albans. She is said to have flourished about the year 1460, and is celebrated for her learning and accomplishments. Besides being the first printed Treatise on the subject in the English language, this work affords us rude representations of the different kinds of tackle in use, and contains directions and remarks which have been copied in some recent Treatises on Angling.

Copies upon Vellum are in the Collections of the Earl of Pembroke and the Right Hon. Thomas Grenville: and upon paper in the British Museum; in the late Mr. Douce's Collection, now in the Bodleian; and in the late Mr. Dent's Library. Probably the finest extant upon paper was that formerly in the collection of Mr. Hanrott.

Pickering, in crown 8vo., with Baskerville'sTypes. London, 1827. The first edition was printed at St. Alban's, 1486, containing the Treatises of Hawking, Hunting, and Coat-Armour; and reprinted by Markham, under the title of "The Gentleman's Academie, or the Booke of St. Albans: containing three most exact of excellent Bookes: the first of Hawking, the second of all the proper termes of Hunting, and the last of Armorie: all compiled by Juliana Barnes, in the yere from the incarnation of Christ, 1486.
