BIBLIOTHECA ACCIPITRARIA: A CATALOGUE OF BOOKS ANCIENT AND MODERN RELATING TO FALCONRY WITH, NOTES, GLOSSARY, AND VOCABULARY. By James Edmund Harting. Martino reprint.
(1891) 2000 new edition. Large 8vo (180 x 237mm). Ppxxviii,289. B/w plates, illustrations. Light blue cloth, spine titled in black.
One of the best falconry bibliographies, listing all books up to 1891, by language. Best used in conjuction with John Swift's superb falconry bibliography, published in 2010, to include more recent books too. Swift himself rates this edition of Harting very highly "...of all the modern reprints, this may be the finest to date. The margins are nearly as wide as the original of 1891, making it easier to read... Limited to 100 copies". Though Swift states that this edition was limited to 100 copies there does not appear to be anything printed inside the book to confirm that. Issued with the same ISBN as the 2004 Martino reprint.
