48 BOOKS ON FALCONRY. 



Reprint of 1886, of which only 250 numbered copies were 

 issued, this being No. 31. Copies of the original edition of 

 1542 are extremely scarce. In twenty years I have only once 

 seen it in a bookseller's catalogue. Not in Brit. Mus. 



The title may be thus translated: — "The Chase and the 

 Lure. On Goshawks and Falcons, their nature, species, and 

 peculiarities : how to train, tame, and feed them j and treating 

 of all their diseases. Almost indispensable, and most useful to all 

 fanciers of goshawks and falcons. By Eberhard Tapp, Lunensis, 

 a citizen of Cologne. 1542." The preface is dated Cologne,
