The Art of Medieval Hunting. 2001, Phoenix Press, 6 x 9, 32 page insert of medieval falconry images. The gentlemen of Medieval and Renaissance Europe had three all-consuming passions: warfare, courtly love and hunting with hawk or hound. Hunting was a training for war and a rite of manhood, a powerful and ritualistic pastime, the sport of kings.
    Illustrated from a variety of sources, The Hound and the Hawk shows us a pageant of Medieval and Renaissance life lived in its grandest, most flamboyant, most allusive manner.
