This work serves as a comprehensive manual on hunting techniques and practices of the time, largely based on a translation of Count Gaston de Foix's renowned hunting book, "Livre de Chasse." The text emphasizes the noble pursuit of hunting, detailing the nature and behavior of various game animals and the techniques required for effective hunting. At the start of the book, the author dedicates his work to Lord Henry, expressing his intent to create a simple guide to hunting that would be of service to future hunters. He outlines the various beasts, such as the hare, hart, and buck, that he will describe, along with the characteristics of different hound breeds. The prologue articulates the virtues of hunting, suggesting that it fosters good virtues while engaging in the sport. The Duke conveys the importance of understanding the animals and the skills necessary for successful hunts, framing hunting as a year-round activity that cultivates both physical and moral well-being.
