A scarce limited edition of three-hundred and forty copies, of which this is numbered three-hundred and twenty, on Hollande paper.

'Le Bon Varlet de Chiens' is extracted from the medieval book on hunting 'Livre de Chasse', compiled by Gaston III, Count of Foix, during the fourteenth century.

Gaston III was a master hunter, leaving behind his influential text on hunting, which provides a brilliant resource on medieval hunting techniques.
