This 18th-century treatise provides a comprehensive guide to falconry, a sport popular among the upper classes in the Middle East. It delves into the history of falconry from its origins in the ancient Middle East to its decline with the advent of firearms. The book covers a wide range of topics, including the origins and history of falconry, the types of birds of prey used, the tools and equipment needed, methods of training and handling birds, and the care of falcons and hawks. It also discusses diseases and injuries that may affect these birds. The book's preface, possibly penned by Rev. A. Willis, satirizes a contemporary publication, demonstrating the author's wit and intellectual engagement. While not directly focusing on specific individuals, the book indirectly touches upon the lives of falconers and their relationships with their birds, offering a glimpse into the cultural and social context of this ancient hunting tradition.
