  HighBeam Encyclopedia - Berners, Juliana   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
BERNERS, JULIANA [Berners, Juliana], supposed early 15th-century author of a popular verse treatise on hunting.
The treatise is included in The Book of St. Albans (1486), a collection treating the arts of heraldry, hawking, and field sports.
If Juliana was the author, she is one of the earliest women writers in English; although tradition designates her the prioress of a nunnery in Hertfordshire, nothing is actually known of her life.

Now available for the first time in paperback, this guide for the experienced fisherman includes techniques from casting to landing as well as advice on equipment, approach, and more.
In the wise words of Dame Juliana Berners, spoken five centuries ago yet just as immediate now, "there is more to fishing than catching fish." So begins The Complete Book of Fly Fishing, a combination primer-encyclopedia that is indeed a fairly complete book - and without sacrificing depth for breadth.
