148. ESTIENNE (Charles) & LIEBAULT (Jean). 



L'Agriculture et Maison Rustique du Charles 



Estienne, augmentee par Jean Liebault son gendre. 



Paris, Jacques du Puys. 1566. 4to. 



Other editions : Geneve 1569, Paris 1570, Lyons 1583, 1590, 

 1595, 1650, 1659, 1668, 1689, 1698, 1702, etc.; Rouen 1600, 

 1620, 1625, 1629, 1641, 1674, 1676, etc. The extraordinary 

 popularity which this work once enjoyed is shown by the great 

 number of editions which have appeared, upwards of a hundred 

 being cited by Souhart (Bibl. pp. 167-170), exclusive of 

 translations in Italian, English, and German. It is curious that 

 it should be known to Schlegel only through the fact of the 

 Rouen editions of 1625 and 1629 being cited by Kreysig 

 {q.v^. The English translation by Surflet will be found noticed 

 in this catalogue under that author's name. 



149. ALAGONA (Arthelouche de). La Faucon- 

 NERiE de Messire Arthelouche de Alagona, Seigneur 

 de Maraveques, Conseiller et Chambellan du Roy de 

 Sicile. Poictiers, par Enguilbert de Marnef et les 

 Bouchets freres. 1567. 4to. 



A treatise of 32 pages, including Title, Avant Propos, and 

 Table; always printed with "La Fauconnerie de Jean de 

 Franchibres." Other editions: 1585, 1602, 1607, 1613, 1614, 

 1618, 1621, 1624, 1627, and 1628. 



As there were no Kings of Sicily until 1504, the author of this 

 treatise must have lived between that year and the date of this 

 edition of de Franchieres, in which it was first printed. More- 

 over, he refers at p. 95 to Ayme Cassian, a Greek from the 

 Isle of Rhodes, who was a contemporary of Jean de Franchibres 

 and personally known to him. The work cannot be regarded, 

 however, as of much practical value ; it is written in a super- 

 ficial and confused style, and deals too much with the maladies 

 of hawks and their supposed remedies.
