Hardcover. Condición: Near Fine. 1st Edition. 1843 Medieval HUNTS 1ed William Twiti Art of Hunting SECRETS Henry II England "The very first hunting manual in England!" (Scott-Macnab) The Story: On a dim, foggy day in 14th-century England, on a vast hunting land ruled by kings and lords, one man, a skilled hunter, held the secret to the successful boar capture. William Twiti held the treasure map his own book a guide to mastering the hunt in Medieval England. "The Art of Hunting" was the key, not just to the successful hunt, but for controlling the untamed wild, English countryside. The Book: Of Twiti, very little is known other than he was known to be the huntsman to King Henry II; still, he describes the art of hunting various animals but classifies animal hunts by social status and the use of capable hunting dogs. It also describes hunting costume, weapons, and hunting music and horns. While the content of hunting is certainly the most important aspect, the value of Middle English language study makes this book popular still today.
