The Treatise of Walter of Bibbesworth is a didactic poem in
Anglo-Norman which surveys a host of practical matters, ranging
from childbirth and our passage through life, to estate management
and life in fields, workshops, to activities in the home, the
kitchen and the dining-hall, to the flora and fauna (and even the
weather) of thirteenth-century England. Its didactic purpose was to
teach the French language, in other words, it was not so much the
topics discussed but the Anglo-Norman or French words used to
describe them. It was a vocabulary, albeit a creative one. To this
end, many of the words were glossed, in the original manuscript and
subsequent versions, with their Middle English equivalents. The
author and the intended audience for this poem are discussed in the
introduction, as are also its date, the language, modern
interpretations and its bibliography. Anglo-Norman text with
parallel translation.
