Hunting - Wolf hunting DU FOUILLOUX (Jacques) La Vénerie. Slne, (around 1606). In-4: 129f. (124 of which are numbered), 11f. (6 of text, one blank and 4 of tables); 60 woodcut figures in the text. Missing the first 4 leaves including the title page as well as leaves 9, 37, 40, 66 to 76 inclusive and last leaves, some leaves restored with sometimes small missing text and figures (important restoration of leaf 118 with text and figure partly missing). Washed copy. Modern pastiche ivory vellum with flaps and laces, handwritten title on the upper board. Probably the 1606 edition edited by Langelier, without the treatise on falconry (see Thiébaud 304). Contents of the work: La vénerie (78f.) - Préceptes pour guérir les chiens de plusieurs maladies (8f.) - L'adolescence de Jacques du Fouilloux, escuyer (3f.) - Épitres (2f.) - Suite de la vénerie, chasse du roi Phoebus (13f.) - Additions to Jacques du Fouilloux's hunting: the hunting of wolves (17f.) - The hunting of the conin and other remedies to cure sick dogs (4f.) - Collection of words, sayings and manners of speech in the art of hunting, with a brief interpretation of them (4f.). A rare and sought-after work that is still relevant 400 years after its publication, unfortunately without the treatise on falconry and with the announced defects.
