Paris: Librairie Cynegetique, 1931. Original wraps. Very Good +/Very Good -. Elegant 1931 Paris re-issue of this Medieval book on hunting, written between 1387 and 1389 by Gaston III, Count of Foix (also known as Febus or Phoebus) and originally published in 1507. This re-issue is tight and VG+ in its off-white wrappers, with light creasing at the front panel's lower-tip and just a touch of soiling along the rear panel. Also includes the original glassine dustjacket, which shows a degree of light chipping but has protected the wrappers well. Quarto, uncut signatures, illustrated with 87 figures --including woodcuts-- based on the miniatures in the original manuscript.
