Description:
Louth, Lincolnshire: [privately printed,], 2003. First and only edition in English, first impression, signed and dated by the translator on the half-title. D'Arcussia's La Fauconnerie was first published in 1599, and Loft's translation is based on the 1643 edition. Nature writer and ornithologist Stephen Bodio writes that Loft's "work on a never-translated manual by d'Arcussia, a 17th-century Provençal professional, makes accessible the most interesting falconry book between Frederic II and the late 19th-century Art and Practice of Hawking. It enables English speakers, whose idea of falconry can be a bit narrow, to see a western falconry culture with much eastern influence, one that Emperor Frederic would have recognized" (Bodio). Octavo. Original green boards, spine lettered in gilt. With dust jacket. Frontispiece and numerous illustrations to the text, many full-page. Stain to fore edge; jacket flaps without price, as issued: a very good copy in fine jacket. Stephen Bodio, "Two Falconers", 22…
