LA NOUE, Pierre de. La Cavalerie Françoise et Italienne ou l'art de bien dresser les chevaux, selon les preceptes des bonnes écoles des deux nations tant pour le plaisir de la carriere, et de crozels que pour le service de la guerre. Strassburg: J. de Heyden, [colophon: Lyon: Claude Morillon], 1620. 2° (351 x 225mm). Engraved title by Jacob van der Heyden, 42 full-page engraved illustrations, with the front blank. (Title with two repairs on verso, a few leaves lightly waterstained, light marginal browning or light thumb-soiling). 18th-century half calf (spine and extremities restored).
FIRST EDITION, [?]FIRST ISSUE OF LA NOUE'S RARE WORK, the first of a projected quartet of works on horses and horsemanship, the last never published. The work is notable for the sections on the training of horses for military purposes, particularly familiarising them with the noise and smoke of gunfire. As Mennessier de la Lance notes, La Noue describes the use of either one or two pillars in dressage, some three years before Pluvinel, who is generally credited with first publication of this technique. The engraved title of the first edition is known in two states: the first with the name of Jacob van der Heyden and dated 1620 (as here), and a second, presumably later, with the name of Claude Morillon and the date 1621. Brunet III, 824; Huth p.18; Mennessier de la Lance II, p.45.
