Two works in one in-4 volume (208 x 152mm) 1. Second edition. 27 lines per page. This is the 1562 edition, although the "2" has been corrected in ink by "4" in this copy, probably for resale (see Thiébaud, 295).

Paris, Houzé, 1617. ORIGINAL EDITION of La Conférence des fauconniers. SECOND STATE, according to Thiébaud (col. 33). The first state (Thiébaud, col. 32) presents a substantially different collation from the second, whose first two quires (title, dedication and table) have been recomposed. In this second state, the 17 pp. of the Contents are not required by Thiébaud (33). The text and typographical composition of La Conférence des fauconniers are identical in both states. Engraved initials, headbands and tailpieces COLLATION : ã4 ê2 3a-k4 : 46 leaves AUTOGRAPHIC SENTENCE SIGNED in ink, on a blank sheet preceding the printed text, and here in modernized French: Pour M. le marquis d'Oraison. Monsieur, I am too late in remembering you your servant; but I have valid excuses having kept to bed during the months of April and May, I am now in a position I am now in a position to serve you in whatever whatever you please to order, and tell you in a few days from my own mouth, as I am I am for ever Monsr your most humble humble servant. Esparron early eighteenth-century binding. Brown calf, ornate ribbed spine, red speckled edges. Folder, slipcase Short upper margin, running title occasionally trimmed, mailing leaf slightly shorter in its outer margin, but whose head and tail edges were marbled at the same time as the body of the work in the early 18th century. Old restorations to binding Following Du Fouilloux's work was bound La Conférence des fauconniers, in its original edition and second state. From 1617 onwards, "d'Arcussia's work is always composed of several parts, which almost never bear the same date. The publisher had to sell all the new parts separately (...) and only reprinted these different parts as and when they ran out" (Thiébaud 32). Each part of the Arcussia is thus autonomous. A long autograph letter from Charles d'Arcussia precedes La Conférence des fauconniers. The author addressed it to the Marquis d'Oraison, the head of one of the most important houses in Provence in the 16th century. The first marquis of the d'Oraison family was François (1544 -1604), who held the title from 1588. He died at his home in Cadenet, Vaucluse. His daughter Marguerite, who died in 1610, married Vincent Anne de Forbin-Maynier, baron d'Oppède (1579-1631). D'Arcussia himself married Marguerite de Forbin-Janson in 1572. We know from Ernest Jullien's preface to his reprint of La Conférence des Fauconniers (Cabinet de Vénerie, 1883) that : "there was no shortage of great lords in Provence who enjoyed bird deduction (...) we quote the great seneschal Jean de Pontevès, Count of Garces, the Marquis François d'Oraison, who kept his "attirail" in Cadenet, and with whom the Viscount d'Esparron often hunted on the plain of Puyricard, near Aix" (p. LXIII). But this first Marquis, François d'Oraison, died in 1604. It can therefore only be his successor, either his son André d'Oraison, married to Louise de Castellane, or his nephew Alphonse d'Oraison, dates unknown, but married to Gabrielle de Foresta in 1622. Nicolas-Claude Fabri de Peiresc (1580-1637), in his correspondence with the Dupuy brothers, mentions Charles d'Arcussia at the time of his death. The falconer hunted until the end of his life. This is why, leaving his bed, as evoked by the dispatch on this book, he was able to "render service" to the Marquis d'Oraison: "Le Sr d'Esparron, auteur du livre de la Faulconerie, est mort ces jours passés grandement regretté parmi la noblesse où il avait acquis
