First edition of this splendidly illustrated book on horse breeding, one of few such books to be published in four languages. Winter (1634-after 1690) was a master of horse breeding at Ansbach, Guterstein, Offenhausen, and Marbach bei Munsingen. The plates, often quite graphic, depict a variety of breeds and their couplings. Of particular interest are the illustrations of horse monsters, including horses with human feet, human heads, and with eight hooves. The text describes the organization and management of a stud-farm, discussing stable architecture, the physical and psychological characteristics of horses and their breeds. It is printed in four languages - Latin, German, Italian, and French - in parallel columns. Dedicated to the Holy Roman Emperor Leopold I, the work proved very popular, and was republished several times in the author's lifetime. Nissen, ZBI 4426; Mennessier de La Lance, II, 649. Folio (337 x 203 mm). Engraved title and 39 plates, some conjoined (in other copies cut and bound separately), most bound folding. Recased and relined in contemporary vellum with new manuscript title label. Vellum somewhat soiled with ring stain to front cover and very minor wear at extremities, neat repair to closed tear at foot of engraved title, contents lightly browned with a couple of trivial marginal repairs (not near text) to leaf I1. A very good copy. Seller Inventory # 160296
