Tusser, Thomas. 1580. Five Hundred Points of Good Husbandry.
The version I am using is a printing of the 1580 edition (it went through several starting in 1573) from 1984 by Oxford University Press with an introduction by Geoffrey Grigson. It has over 150 pages of notes following the text and an index which always helps. Unfortunately it is out of print and no other versions are in print according to the local books in print computer at Barnes and Nobles.
ISBN 0-19-286040-2
