Martina Giese : „Falkhen zu fahen, abzurichten vnd gesundt zu erhalten“. Ein jagdkundlicher Gebrauchstext des späten 16. Jahrhunderts

The „Österreichische Nationalbibliothek“ in Vienna houses a copy of Jacques Du Fouilloux, La vénerie avec plusieurs receptes pour guerir les chiens, Poitiers 1564 (signature: *44.Q.13), a classic of early modern hunting literature, containing handwritten german notes on the catching, training and healing of birds of prey, mostly falcons, written by the anonymous passionate falconer who owned the print in the late 16th century. These handwritten notes are an interesting document for the history of falconry and likewise for the special terminology of this field of hunting „Fachprosa“. In the appendix of the article the handwritten notes are edited and commented.
