CLAMORGAN, Jean.La chasse du loup, necessaire à la maison rustique.      Lyon, for Jaques du Puis, 1578. 4to. Modern green morocco, blind-stamped gilt border in slipcase. Title-page within woodcut border and 14 large woodcuts. (1)-19 ll. A rare and early edition of one of the most important works on wolf hunting which is usually found included in editions of Maison rustique (Ch. Estienne and J. Liébault) but was also published separately. Jean de Clamorgan, served as admiral in the French navy under François I, Henry II, François II and Charles IX. After his retirement he pursued wolf hunting on his lands in Normandy. La chasse du loup describes the habits of wolves and discusses different methods for hunting. The first woodcuts illustrate the author's view that wolves are villanous animals, applying cunning tactics to mangle innocent lambs. The other woodcuts show wolf traps and wolf hunting with hounds. According to Thiébaud, this edition was printed in "Paris (et Lyon)," and our copy has "Lyon" on the title-page. Good copy of this important work with attractive illustrations.- (Some foxing; upper margins shaved).
Thiébaud, col. 347; this edition not in BMC NH, Jeanson, Schwerdt.
