With 5 full-page engravings included in pagination, and woodcut head- and tailpieces and initials. 17th-century Italian vellum, red morocco label on spine lettered in gilt, small accession number in ink at upper corner of upper board, covers with some minor soiling. Title page a little loose, with faint marginal dampstaining affecting outer margin of first few leaves, and sporadically throughout though very unobtrusive, a few neat marginal markings. With the bookplate of Gunnar Brusewitz and his note of acquisition dated Rome 1947. Schwerdt Hunting, hawking, shooting II:278. Souhart Bibliographie générale des ouvrages sur la chasse 477. Ceresoli Bibliografia delle opere italiane latine e greche su la caccia 541. Harting Bibliotheca accipitraria 273, note. Third edition (first 1591) and the first illustrated with copper engravings, the previous two were illustrated with woodcuts. One of the classics of Italian hunting and falconry, by the Italian poet Erasmo di Valvasone (1523-1593). Harting elaborates: "This poem on the chase [.] was very popular in its days, and is still held in some esteem by collectors of opera cynegetica. It is divided into five cantos dealing with different branches of field sports, each preceded by a full-page illustration on copper. The fifth canto relates to falconry, in which allusion is made to the different hawks used by falconers, the methods of catching and training them, and the remedies for their ailments. The annotations of Marcucci are chiefly directed to an explanation of the classical allusions made by the poet". Olimpio Marcucci was the pseudonym of Scipione di Manzano (1560-1596). The title page depicts allegorical figures, including the goddess of hunting and weapons, trophies, an owl and a hare, etc. Each of the five cantos is illustrated with a fine engraving: the first shows well-equipped huntsmen preparing to set out with their dogs, including a bitch with pups in a kennel; the second depicts boar and stag hunting with horns, firearms and spears; the third illustrates stag hunting; the fourth shows a variety of sports, including boys wrestling, a ball game played with baskets strapped to the players' arms (palla col bracciale derivato della pallacorda), and swimming, with a bear hunt in the background; the fifth is largely concerned with falconry, showing an owl in an enclosure in the foreground and a walled seaport in the background. In all these five plates dogs play a prominent role.…
