Description

CLAMORGAN, JEAN DE. La chasse du loup, necessaire a la maison rustique. Paris: Jacques du Puis, 1567


SECOND EDITION of an important treatise on wolf hunting.


Jean de Clamorgan, born in 1480 in the diocese of Coutances, was one of the most illustrious admirals in the Marine Royal, which he served until 1543, the date of the defeat at Muros. Having retired, he took the time to write his famous treatise, which he naturally dedicated to Charles IX, a notable huntsman and the author of La chasse royale. La chasse du loup was first published in 1566, to accompany the third edition of Estienne L'agriculture et maison rustique.

4to, 215 x 145 mm. Roman and italic type, 42 lines plus headline. collation: A-D4 E3: 19 leaves (only, of 22; lacking E4 and F2). Woodcut initials, 11 woodcut illustrations in the text (of 14). (Some browning and spotting, marginal dampstaining, lacking 3 final woodcut illustrations.)


binding: Eighteenth-century English tan calf (220 x 150 mm), outer frame pickled and flanked by 2 sets of triple blind fillets, blind fleuron at outside corners of inner set, inner frame plain calf, central panel pickled and within triple blind fillets, longitudinal red morocco spine label.
