Jacques-Auguste de Thou (1553- 1617) was an eminent Latinist who published over 50 poems during his lifetime, varying in length and character from brief epigrams to an entire tragedy composed in imitation of Aeschylus' Prometheus Bound. He was most famous for his Historiae, which chronicled the years 1546-1607 in France. His poems were widely anthologized and translated in the XVIIc and early XVIIIc. Il Falconiere is the first edition in Italian of de Thou's poem Hieracosophioy (i.e., Hieracosophiou or "the study of hawks") sive de re accipitraria, which was first published in Latin in 1612. The poem is addressed to François-Vincent-Marc de Beauvau (1713-1742), primate of Lorraine since the age of 9. The stamp of "F. M. Campori" on the title page refers to the Marquess Francesco Maria Campori (1825-1861), a lover of travel and Italy, whose accounts in Memorie di viaggo describe XIXc Italy in flux. Pietro Angelo Bargeo (Petrus Angelius Bargaeus, Piero Angeli da Barga; 1517-1592) was a wide-ranging scholar whose interests spanned the erection of obelisks and the Christianization of Syria. His considerably earlier work on fowling (published in 1566) complements de Thou's. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers LM0002
