AN UNKNOWN MEDIAEVAL TREATISE ON FALCONRY.
703 BRAGADINUS, ANDREAS, Patricius Venetus. MAGISTER AUCUPATORIS
SIVE DE NATURA AVIUM RAPACIUM, et de eorum infirmitatibus et me-
dicamine, lib. IV. — Venice, 1370. — Manuscript on 62 leaves vellum. Folio. —
Very probably the author's autograph carefully written in a bold, rather
heavy, gothic hand, with initials, chapter-headings and rubrication in red
and blue. In a XV. cent. Venetian binding of brown moroeco decorated in
blind.
A very valuable and important Italian XIV"1 Century work on the Nature of
different breeds of falcons and hawks and on their training, their diseases and treat-
ment. The author, Andrea Bragadin, a member of the famous Venetian noble fa-
mily, does not appear to be known so far to any historian or bibliographer of
hawking-books, or of literature in general. His very substantial and detailed treati-
se is undoubtedly an original composition written by him in a curious vulgär Latin,
showing clear traces that the author's own language was not only Italian, but spe-
cially the Venetian dialect (he writes e. g. „aspertus" for „expertus", „hexaminare"
etc.) Neither Harting („Bibl. Accipitraria") nor Weerth in his bibliography of
works on Hawking (in „Romania" XII. XIII.) have any trace of this book or its
author. The treatise is obviously based on Frederick II.'s fundamental „De Arte
venandi cum Avibus" and on the Arabic falconers (Dancus, Moamyn etc.) though
we have found no explicit quotation of any earlier authority.
The final colophon on fol. 61 verso reads:
„Exsplicit liber quarto et ultimo, scripto et compilato per me Andreas bragadino,
Nobilis veneciarum ciuii, Curendo anni domini nostri hiessu XPI Millesimo tre-
centessimo Septuagessimo, die ultimo menssis Junii. In Venetiis. In contrata sei
Geminiani in domo patris meis, qui hodie vivit, et vocatur domino Jacobo bragadino,
Nobilis venetiarum ciuii; et est valde sapiens homo."
A perfect and well preserved original MS of an unknown mediaeval hawking
book.
