Description
This book is an edited study based on a review of a manuscript found by the editor in Oxford University Library in 1975, attributed to the Dutch orientalist Jacob Julius (1596) supplemented by a study of other rare manuscripts and books. Under instructions from the late Sheikh Zayed Bin Sultan Al Nahyan this book followed a scientific methodology in its data collection and presents the names of birds which are trained to hunt and the treatment of their diseases. As a valuable reference for those interested in falconry and other such sports, the publication of this book was fittingly promoted on the occasion of the International Symposium on Falconry and its Arts held in Abu Dhabi in 1976 under the patronage of the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan.
