How to Rear and Train the Sparrow-Hawk
How to Rear and Train the Sparrow-Hawk
This was translated by Leggatt in 1947 from Baron Jérome-Frédéric Pichon’s edition of Le Ménagier de Paris (the Parisian Household Book, written c. 1393). It was the first translation of the hawking / sparrowhawk chapter into English from the French, with an Introduction, Notes, Glossary, and an Index, by Leggatt. “To which is added, by way of Preface, An Appreciation of the Sparhawke, by Symon Latham, Gent.” Leggatt was an admirer of George Lodge, the renowned bird artist. The George Edward Lodge Trust has added additional illustrations and written material by Lodge to Leggatt’s work to create further interest and to understand the sparrowhawk.
