Thiébaud, pp. 300 and 303.
Souhart, 150–152.
A sought-after edition of *La Vénerie* by Jacques du Fouilloux, enriched with several additional texts on hunting, including *La Chasse du loup* by Jean de Clamorgan and various treatises on hunting and the care of dogs. Although less rare than the original Poitiers editions, it is particularly prized for its additions and the superior quality of its engravings, considered better than those of later editions.
All subsequent editions were based on this text.
A fine copy, complete in two parts, in an elegant morocco binding signed Trautz-Bauzonnet.
The combination of the two works by Du Fouilloux and Franchieres constitutes a two-part work: “For a copy to be complete, it must therefore contain both works united as two parts of a single work.” (Thiébaud).
With a wood-engraved vignette repeated on the title page of each volume, 57 vignettes in the text for the work *La Vénerie et la fauconnerie* and 30 illustrations of birds for *La Fauconnerie* by Jean de Francières.
Provenance: Library of Alexandre de Lurde, a 19th-century French diplomat. On his death in 1872, he bequeathed his books to Baron Alphonse de Rouble (1833–1898), his nephew, who expanded the collection. They combined their coats of arms and their monograms, with the ex-libris engraved on steel featuring the arms with crowned monograms and crowned gilt irons on the spine.
