About This Item
[8], 272 pp.Good association copy of the first and only edition of a "work which no student of the history of falconry should neglect" (Harting). The author argues that people in the Middle Ages particularly honoured the falcon as the star of the hunt. He goes into the Medieval style of training falcons and the cures for many diseases that could affect them. He derives his information from multiple Latin sources. These Latin treatises, still largely unpublished, are presented in the first chapter, while the following three critically analyse the information they provide concerning birds, taming and hunting techniques, and medical applications.Signed presentation copy from the author to Florian Pharaon (1827-1887), the first Arab editor at Le Figaro, and the translator of an Arabic hunting work into French. Some spotting, binding rubbed. Otherwise in good condition.l Harting 211; Schwerdt II, pp. 2-3; Thiébaud 621.
