Book Description
Excerpt from An Older Form of the Treatyse of Fysshynge Wyth an Angle The differences between the treatise as given in this ms. And as printed in the Book of St. Albans, are more important than the above statements would lead us to believe. They extend not only to the orthography but equally to the phrase, and in very many places to the Sense also. That it is an independent text cannot be doubted, and in this opinion we are supported by the high authority of the Rev. Professor Skeat, who is inclined to assign it an earlier date than 1450. Though probably an older form of the treatise printed at Westminster in 1496, it is drawn from the same original, which, wherever it first came from, was at that time written in our language. The close correspondence in many pas sages forbids the idea that the two versions were independent translations from another tongue. Originally from the French it may have been.
