Antoine de Pluvinel's treatise 'Le Mange Royal - Le Instruction du Roy, en L'Excercice de Monter à Cheval' was originally published incomplete following his death in 1623. An expert Chevalier in the Court of King Louis XIII of France (1601-1643), the engraved plates by the Dutch artist Crispijn de Passe II (c. 1597-1670) explore the principles of training horses in the form of a dialogue between Pluvinel and the King. A second edition was published approximately two years later and was translated and re-issued many times.
