The Beggars’ Book

I wanted to share a link to the text I showed you in class yesterday, the “Liber Vagatorum” or Beggars’ Book. This text – a translation of which you can find online for free here – was published in Germany in 1528, with an introduction by Martin Luther. However, similar books were published across Europe, in various languages. The Thieves’ Cant, interestingly, was spoken internationally.
