[DU FOUILLOUX, Jacques (1519-1580), Jean DE FRANCIERES (d. 1488) and others]. Neuw Jag und Weydwerck Buch. Das ist ein grundtliche Beschreibung vom Anfang der Jagten. Frankfurt: Sigmund Feyerabend for Johann Feyerabend, 1582.
First edition in German of La Venerie, superbly illustrated with 115 woodcuts on hunting and 57 on falconry. The probable compilers are Johann Heller and Sigmund Feyerabend who are described as having prepared the edition in the title to the second part. Though considerable use has been made of Du Fouilloux, Clamorgan, Francières, and other early writers, Schwerdt notes that ‘there is a quantity of original matter to be found in this work.‘ While some cuts had been used in earlier works, the full series is first published here. Holstein II, 52; Nissen ZBI 1175; Thiebaud 312-313; Souhart 156-157; Schwerdt I, p. 30.
2 parts in one volume, folio (305 x 197mm). First title printed in red, titles to both parts with woodcut vignette, 172 woodcuts printed from 90 blocks by Stefan Hermann after Jost Amman, Christophe Maurer, Ludwig Frig and others, some with touches of contemporary colour. Colophon leaf with device at end of each part. With the two blanks. (First title browned and tipped in, some marginal soiling). Contemporary vellum (upper joints weak, repair to base of spine, ties lacking). [Bound with two other works:] MEURER, Noe (1525/28-1583). Jag unnd Forstrecht. Das ist: Underricht Chur und Fürstlicher Lande. Marpurg: Paul Egenolff, 1602. Folio, title in red and black with vignette, colophon leaf with device, final blank. (X4 wormed across 3 lines, light marginal waterstaining). First of two 17th-century editions of this work on the laws of hunting. VD17 I:015438K. [and:] MEURER, N. Wasser Recht unnd Gerechtigkeyt. Das ist: Underricht vom Rheinstrom. Marpurg: Paul Egenolff, 1604. Title in red and black with device. Another legal treatise by Meurer on water rights on the Rhine, following an earlier edition in 1570. VD17 I:015455Z.
