CORTE, Claudio. The Art of Riding, translated by Thomas Bedingfield. London: Henry Denham, 1584. Woodcut illustrations in the text, 4 full-page, head- and tailpieces and initials.
Rare first editions of two important equestrian books, including one of the earliest English treatises on horsemanship. Although distinct in collation, the two works were originally issued together, as here. Dejager 38 & 82; STC 884 & 5797.
2 works in one volume, quarto (177 x 129mm). (Closely trimmed at top margin touching a few titles, occasional light spotting and staining.) Contemporary calf, gilt title to spine (19th-century repair preserving the original spine). Modern cloth box. Provenance: early manuscript annotations – John Shaw Darlington (inscription to fly leaf).
