Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. 3rd Edition. Sixe 225mmX290X60mm. De Arte Venandi cum Avibus was written shortly before the year 1250 by Frederick II, Holy Roman Emperor, King of Sicily and Jerusalem, in whose court, with its remarkably cosmopolitan and highly intellectual life, may be found the real beginning of the Italian Renaissance. In spite of its title, it is far more than a dissertation on hunting. There is a lengthy introduction dealing with th anatomy of birds, an intensely description of avian habits, and the excursions of migratory birds. Indeed, this ancient book has long been recognized as the first zoological treatise written in the critical spirit of modern science. The 1943 edition od this single sumptuous volume now in hand is, however, was the first translation into English of the complete text, originally divided into a prologue of six books.The book is in very nice condition EXCEPT for a small shelf stain on the bottom while the jacket has several small tears.

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.
