About This Item
[56], 635, [1 blank] pp.Second edition (with new and more extensive illustrations and some additions) of one of the most noted Italian books on hunting, also including falconry, fishing and husbandry. On pp. 41-78 ''the different kinds of falcons and hawks are described, as well as the method of training and flying the goshawk and sparrow-hawk, the former of which was much used in Italy in the seventeenth century for taking partridges and phaesants." While on pp. 80-137 "the qualities of a good falconer are noted, the mode of training falcons, making them to the hood, &c., and general advice as to feeding and moulting'' (Harting). The fourth book (pp. 335-470) deals with fishing and is divided in 196 brief chapters on catching different fish species, accompanied by an engraved plate depicting fishermen with nets along a coast.With bookplate and embossed stamp. Restoration to a tear in one engraving (K4) and some modern marginal restorations; but otherwise in good condition, with a few worm holes in the margin of quires X-Z. The vellum is partly detached from the bookblock, revealing the binding structure and the printed waste use to line the spine. One of the most noted Italian books on hunting, in the much better illustrated second edition.l Harting, Bibl. Accipitraria 277; Schwerdt II, p. 123; Westwood & Satchell, Bibl. piscatoria, p. 174.
