"The Boke of Saint Albans" by Dame Juliana Berners is a historical treatise written in the late 15th century. This work is a collection of treatises focusing on the arts of hawking, hunting, and heraldry, essential topics for the gentry of the time. Aimed primarily at noble audiences, it provides in-depth instructions and insights into these pursuits, including detailed terminologies and methods, reflecting the societal norms and leisure activities of the aristocracy during this era. At the start of the book, readers are introduced to the significance of the subjects covered, particularly hawking and hunting, which were essential skills for the well-to-do of the 15th century. The introduction sets the stage for the detailed exploration of each subject, beginning with hawking, discussing its various aspects from vocabulary to care and training of hawks. The text emphasizes the elegance and expertise required in these pursuits, catering to an audience seeking to affirm their gentle status through mastery of traditional pastimes. The author's voice is instructive and maternal, often addressing the reader as "my deare chylde," suggesting a pedagogical approach in both language and content.
