I found this interesting and thought this was a group that could appreciate it! Hope you enjoy the read.

The Project Gutenberg eBook of The Book of Husbandry, by Fitzherbert.

I'm going to save that one for later, because I'm fascinated not only by the content but the language. Reading and understanding 16th Century English I can do and I love it, but I have to be in the right mind frame to do it.

Oh my - how facinating!

Whilst I can read it (mostly), it's very time consuming. Goodness, how time has changed the way we speak and write.

Haha I'm the same @Lunai . Dutch is my native language, and English had been self-taught (though nowadays as I live in Australia I've learnt more). Very hard to read, but immensely interesting.
