De Arte Venandi cum Avibus foi composta por volta do ano 1250, pelo Imperador Romano-Germânico Frederico II, Rei da Sicília e Jerusalém. Apesar do seu titulo, trata-se de muito mais do que uma dissertação sobre caça. Contém uma longa introdução (que constitui o Livro I, deste volume) que aborda a anatomia das aves, uma interessante descrição dos seus hábitos e as rotas de aves migratórias. Esta obra da antiguidade é reconheçida como o primeiro tratado zoológico, escrito com o espírito crítico da ciência moderna. O presente volume, numa edição luxuosa, é a primeira tradução do texto completo, em Inglês. Tanto os tradutores como os editores adornaram-na com notas, comentários, bibliografias e glossário. Este é um trabalho de grande valor para zoologistas, especialmente ornitologistas, assim como para qualquer um interessado na história da ciência e na arte medieval.
