Engraved title, 5 leaves, pp. 1-5 12, and Tavola. Nineteen 

 engravings on copper, of which two are duplicates, all included 

 in the pagination. 



In cap. viii. lib. i, Delia divisione degli Uccelli da rapina 

 (pp. 81-117), the different kinds of falcons and hawks are de- 

 scribed, as well as the method of training and flying the Goshawk 

 and Sparrow-hawk, the former of which was much used in Italy 

 in the seventeenth century for taking partridges and pheasants. 

 In cap. ix. lib. i,Dellostrucciero{\)^. 1 19-173) (though the head- 

 line throughout this chapter runs " Cap. viii. Lib. i "), the qualities 

 of a good falconer are noted, the mode of training falcons, 

 making them to the hood, &c., and general advice as to feeding 

 and moulting. 



In the previous edition of 1626 this information is given in 

 caps, vi.-vii. lib. i (pp. 41-137). Schneider, who cites the 

 edition of 1626 in his " Catalogus auctorum rei accipitrariae " ap- 

 pended to his edition of the work of the Emperor Frederick II. 

 (No. 308), expresses a poor opinion of it, regarding it as entirely 

 a compilation — " natura avium rapacium, earumque educatio, 

 et disciplina omnis venatoria et medica explicatur ; sed hsec 

 omnia cum toto libro ex pluribus aliis transcripta nuUam proprii 

 usus commendationem habent" (op. cit. ii. p. 14). The author 

 no doubt borrowed largely from Carcano (No. 267).
