(Associated side).
Nissen, Vogelb. 35, - Souhart 20. Best and most comprehensive edition of the work on falconry, first published in 1598 and in 10 other editions of various volumes, whose "importance for the history of dress hunting can only be compared with the Friedrich II. von Hohenstaufen" (Lindner). "The contents of this edition are the same as in that of 1627 and include all that d'Arcussia has written"; But the text is much more corrected. On this account it is to be preferred to any of the editions which preceded it. The work is much esteemed on account of its originality and the amount of information which it conveys, and particulary for the description which the author gives of flights which he witnessed when hawking with the King. (Harting). - Cut slightly at the top, but without affecting the text. - Spotless. - With stung exlibris of Baron Butes de Savoie on the inner lid. - Very rare in this preservation.
