As the title indicates, this work provides all the information necessary for keeping and training falcons, hawks and other birds of prey: how to choose birds, how to train them; how to treat them throughout the year; how to treat their illnesses or accidents. The author wrote from personal experience, having served two kings as falconer for over 45 years. All but the first edition properly form part of Du Fouilloux's La Venerie; Schwerdt I, 230 (1620 ed.); Thiébaut col. 493.
