TURBERVILLE, George (c.1540-c.1610)
The Booke of Falconrie or Havvking; for the onely delight and pleasure of all the noblemen and gentlemen. London: Thomas Purfoot, 1611. [Bound with:] [GASCOIGNE, George (d.1577)]. The Noble Art of Venerie or Hunting. London: Thomas Purfoot, 1611.
Second editions of the two best known English books on hunting and hawking, the first work being the rarer issue with catchword ‘com’ on A1r. ESTC lists just one copy of this issue in UK libraries. George Turberville's Booke of Falconrie adapts the works of Giorgi, Carcano, Tardif and Artelouche, while Gascoigne's Noble Art of Venerie is an adaptation of Jacques Du Fouilloux's La Veneré. Although the blocks used in this edition were largely unaltered from the first edition of 1575, the original woodcut portraits of Elizabeth I have been altered to show the new monarch, James I. Schwerdt II, pp. 271-72; STC 24325.5 and 24329.

2 works in one volume, small quarto (183 x 139mm). Falconrie: title with large woodcut showing the Earl of Warwick in a hawking costume and 43 illustrations (a few repeated), with the final blank (title with small tear into one letter and with imprint slightly trimmed, lacking G5, repaired tear in M7); Venerie: large woodcut of a scene of huntsmen and dogs on title and 48 illustrations (a few repeated), with initial blank, 2 leaves of music at end (tiny rust-hole in title, N5-6 lightly soiled at lower margin). Provenance: George Kenyon of Peel Hall, Lancashire (1666–1728; armorial bookplate).
