Autorenporträt
Sir Anthony Fitzherbert (1470-1538) was an esteemed English jurist, agriculturalist, and author, recognized for his substantial contributions to English law and agriculture during the early 16th century. Born into an established Derbyshire family, Fitzherbert is most famously known for his 'The Book of Husbandry' (1523), a pioneering work that holds the distinction of being one of the earliest printed books on agriculture written in the English language. His expertise in agriculture, coupled with his legal acumen, provided pragmatic insights into the practical aspects of farming, estate management, and animal husbandry of the time. 'The Book of Husbandry' covers a range of subjects, from sowing and harvesting to the responsibilities of servants and the education of farmers, reflecting Fitzherbert's thorough comprehension of rural affairs. His detailed observations and recommendations offer a window into the agricultural practices and rural life of Tudor England. Fitzherbert's contributions extend beyond agriculture; he was also noted for his legal texts, including the 'Natura Brevium,' which became a cornerstone for the study of English common law. As a judge of the Court of Common Pleas, he demonstrated his legal prowess, and his written works continued to be referenced by legal professionals for centuries. Fitzherbert's blended expertise in both the legal and agricultural realms marks him as a unique figure whose literary output provides an invaluable perspective on the socio-economic landscape of his era. His legacy endures through his enduring contributions to both agricultural literature and the legal profession.
